Pregnancy is a wonderful and exciting period in the life of every woman. All future mothers worry about their baby and look forward to meeting him. Fees at the maternity hospital are a crucial moment. What things to take for the baby? What about hygiene items? Modern girls are also wondering if it is necessary to remove the decorative coating from the nails and shorten the nails? There are various opinions for and against manicure in the hospital.
Why not
Pregnant women are characterized by whims and quirks, which can be very unexpected. The period of pregnancy is not a reason to start yourself, to refuse beautiful manicure, hairstyles and makeup. But going to the hospital, many doctors strongly recommend that you wipe off the varnish and forget about cosmetics for a while. Of course, no one will force you to abandon your favorite shellac, but just in case, it is better to play it safe.
Childbirth is an unpredictable process. No one can know how a woman and child will behave in the process of labor and childbirth. It is very good if the baby was born without complications and unnecessary medical interventions. But often, childbirth can be complicated, and there is a need to use additional medications to save the mother and baby. In this case, the condition of the nails may reflect the reaction to a particular drug administered by the woman in labor.
Painted nails make it difficult to assess the condition of a woman, especially if she is under anesthesia and can not say about her health. Before a planned cesarean section, a woman will most likely be told about the need to remove the coating from her nails. In addition, the nails should be cut short for easier access by the pulse oximeter and its proper operation.The device is mounted on a finger and captures the heart rate. If the equipment in the hospital is not entirely new, then the device can junk and give inaccurate information with painted and long nails.
If it is necessary to use anesthesia during surgery, doctors evaluate the condition of the woman also on the nail platinum. If the plate turns blue, this indicates a lack of oxygen.
Hypoxia can negatively affect not only the health of the mother, but also on the well-being of the baby.
Hygiene is also an important factor, because of which you can not go to the hospital with painted nails on his hands. The hospital is a sterile room and patients must observe this sterility. Under the dark varnish is not visible dirt that can accumulate under the nails.
If you arrived with a manicure in the hospital and painted nails, there is a risk of exfoliation of the varnish with frequent hand washing. A splinter of nail polish or nail can get into the baby’s respiratory tract, and you may not even notice it. It is better not to jeopardize your baby and make small sacrifices in the form of a lack of manicure. Long nails can injure the baby, so when caring for a child, the nails should be as short as possible.
Negative moments after childbirth
No matter how much a woman wants to stay slim and maintain her ideal figure after childbirth, rarely does anyone succeed. During pregnancy, the expectant mother is gaining extra pounds, which negatively affects the condition of the nails in the postpartum period.
Manicure is a useful procedure that should be present in the life of every woman. But frequent exposure to nails of manicure accessories can damage the plate and the skin around the nails. During pregnancy, tissues are updated more often and nails grow faster, so you will have to update the decorative coating more often.
What manicure to do?
No one says that you need to completely run your nails and not do manicures. No self-respecting woman can forget about nails for nine months. If you still decide to go to a meeting with your child with beautiful painted nails, then the question is in choosing a cover.
The ideal option is a simple hygienic manicure, which will make your nails well-groomed and will not cause unnecessary questions from the staff of the hospital. You can cover the plate with colorless varnish or with a light shade. As for the types of varnish, the question is very controversial. You can make shellac, which will stay on your nails for a long time and will not make you nervous because the coating has peeled off. But ordinary varnish is easier to remove from nails, if the need arises in an emergency.
As a rule, paid clinics or very modern municipal maternity hospitals do not focus on the need for women to come without a manicure. Good equipment and methods of influencing patients allow not to take into account such a trifle as painted nails.
To do a manicure or not, to paint nails or to do without it - in any case, the future mother decides herself. Doctors only warn of some consequences that can be complicated by the presence of nail polish. Speaking in support of modern beauties, peeling of varnish can only be if you use a normal coating. Surely a woman has repeatedly done manicure with the same master and is familiar with the quality of his work.
High-quality shellac sticks well and long on nails and does not cause discomfort to mom when caring for baby.
