Nail varnish for csection?

[MrsM21]

Hi! I’m due to have an elective csection on Tuesday, the midwives haven’t mentioned anything but I’ve read to not have nail varnish on for the procedure. I usually have gel nails on my fingers and toes, does anyone know if I need to remove it from both?
I’m taking it off my fingers just incase but I’d rather leave it on my toes if I can! (Mainly because I can hardly reach my feet now 😂)
Thanks!

It’s for oxygen saturation levels. You’ll need one bare unfortunately. Not so nail varnish is ok but gel too thick

You need to take it off and especially so if it's gels as they won't be able to remove it quickly if they want to (which they could do with normal polish)

It’s fine to leave it on. (DOI: anaesthetist).

I'm in Scotland and in my area they say you have to take it off Check with your midwife what your local policy is.
