Can you wear acrylic nails when you are in hospital/ in labour?

Not sure.
I know they are an absolute no for cs, hospital can remove normal varnish but not acrylics.
Best ask midwife.

No - you might need a pulse ox monitor which clips to your finger, or a c section, in which case they will butcher the nail if needs be. Best not.

You really want short nails for Labour and birth for hygiene reasons anyway
