The silly questions thread...

Am I good to have gel nails done near labour day? X

I don't really know anything about gel nails, but nail polish in general may have to be removed if they need to monitor you.

So it kinda depends - if you end up being induced or something it could cause a problem. If they are expensive or difficult to remove then I wouldn't.

If you'd be happy/able to take them off
If they have to monitor your oxygen levels for any reason then I don't see why not.

Do you get to keep your green notes after birth? Was just thinking they would be nice to keep as I have my mums notes from when she had me x

photocopy them just before! that's what I did ;-)

Sent from my shit hot phone! Fo shizzle home girls.

This what I plan to do too :) xx

Can you take them away with you or will you ask a nurse to do it? Xx

I will take photocopies of all the bits I can at home prior to going into the hospital. I think they keep ur notes after the labour so I wasn't sure how to get those notes, but taking pics sounds like a good idea xx

Oh I see, our maternity notes that we carry around. Sorry, I was thinking you meant the hospital notes.
Great tips! Xx
 
What does anterior/posterior placenta mean

I know mines is "at the front" according to the sonographer
 
Lol ... thats what I thought ... was having a baby brain moment I think

If they are long I wouldn't bother as you'll have a newborn and they'll fill up with poo etc

Gross!!! (but thanks for the heads up) x

I wouldn't, a friend of mine got a mani/pedi to look good and the first thing they did was take it off. If you have issues with circulation the first place it shows is your nail beds so they may need you to take them off xx

I would say no, as not only can you tell alot about your circulation from your nails, if your are having routine obs, the O2 sats probe wont work as the light cannot pass through your finger, and you will have to take one or more nails off.
 
What is sex like after having a baby?

I've forgotten what sex is I'm afraid :( xx

PS - have no idea what it's like after giving birth, just thought I'd share my entire lack of sex life with the world :p

With my first I had a pretty decent labour no stitches or that and we were gentle and took our time and it was pretty much the same x

Really silly question, but something iv been thinking about, and mabye a mummy already can answer...
What do you do with the baby when you get home? I'm thinking boyfriend will drive us home, well get out and go inside and then what...? Do you just put baby in the Moses basket and make dinner? Or a cup of tea? Do you have a sleep or a shower? Or do you just sit and stare at it haha!! I just can't get my head round what the 1st few days are going to be like...xx
 
i also have this thought, ill be going to my mums and trying to get in some kind of routine but im sure ill be just be wanting to watch her x
 
When we got home at 9pm we took her round showing her the house then off to bed. First couple of weeks was rounds of feeding/sleeping/eating & bathing (baths for sore bits & showers for site boobs!)
Hubby did tidying up & cooking. I didn't get a daytime shower until she was about 8 weeks as I didn't want to leave her alone :( so showered or bathed at night when hubby was home
 
After you've given birth, do your food tastes return back to normal?

I went off a lot of things, especially meat and I'm still not eating meat really.
 
Sex after birth for me was pretty painful last time, but I'd had an episiotomy and was also badly bruised. But it does get back to normal, we just had to tke things pretty slowly.
Lolly, if I was you I would make the most of your first day at home, because soon you will have visitor upon visitor desperate to cuddle your lo! As far as I remember I just spent a lot of time cuddling and watching my lo! I cant wait for those first days again, everything they do is amazing to you!
And Violet im also curious if food tastes will return to normal. I didnt really go off foods when i was expecting DD but this time I have a list as long as my arm that makes me feel sick even at the thought of eating them!
 
My food tastes changed again after lo I started wanting foods I didnt used to like and enjoying them.
