Why do you need to take nail varnish off for an epidural?

"No mother allowed" - in my birth plan, god bless her but no way!

Hermya321 · 21/02/2011 21:10

I thought she was someone doing work experience from the back.

Does nail varnish = no epi then??? Didn't know that! Would have been gutted!

TobyLerone · 21/02/2011 21:10

I had my mum and my husband there. And my sister had me, my mum and her husband.

She is thinking for teh blood gas thing in theatre. They ask that you take nail polish off, but i think it's only of fingers!

She is ust covering her bases!

Ok working now (readjusted aerial duh)
That midwife was soooo patronising

Have I missed a birth already? Looked like there was a waterbirth at the beginning?

Geriatric mum Shock!!! She looks about 39!

coinoperatedgirl · 21/02/2011 21:11

Nail varnish needs to be removed to check perfusion I think, in case of cs or blood loss.

houseworkwhore · 21/02/2011 21:11

magentastardust · 21/02/2011 21:12

I had an epidural with first baby and I didn't have to take my nailvarnish off-my friend had to when taken in for a c section though.

She's doing well for six cms

MrsVidic · 21/02/2011 21:12

I wonder if the old womans mw will come on and bitch about older mums? Don't think so

Meglet · 21/02/2011 21:12

They whipped my nail polish off before my EMCS. One nurse for each foot. I had spent ages putting it on beautifully.

solo · 21/02/2011 21:12

They need to check your circulation twirly.

drivingmisscrazy · 21/02/2011 21:12

37 - ancient :o

fedupofnamechanging · 21/02/2011 21:12

I had my mum there for all 4 of mine. Nothing was gonna shift her out of that room. I don't think she even asked me, just assumed that it was okay Grin

NotAnotherNewNappy · 21/02/2011 21:12

37 is geriatric Blush

Aah bless, she's lovely - all her dreams coming true.
