Oooo I feel like I'm at school asking this!

There was a thread a while back about how your not allowed to wear nail varnish in labour incase something goes wrong. Is this true?

I've painted mine with my new Christmas stuff buy OH is trying to get me to take it off

You can wear nail varnish that does not contain formaldehyde. Check the bottle and take it off if it does have it in.

My midwife told me its best not to wear nail varnish. This is incase something goes wrong and they need to put the red light clip thingy on your finger. It measures the oxygen sats of your blood. Nail varnish on means they don't get an accurate reading.xx

its mainly nail varnish with blue or purple pigment in that affects the oxygen sats probe.

Nail varnish harbours bacteria and isn't hygeinic if it chips. this may also be a reason, as hospital staff cant wear it
