C-sections

Contacts during Csection?

I have a RCS scheduled for Wednesday.  I woudl love to be able to wear my contacts during it but I can't remember if you can.  Any know if you can wear contacts or not?  I'm guessing no.

Re: Contacts during Csection?

  • I wore mine and no one even asked about it.  I had read on here that some people said you couldn't so I brought my glasses and a new pair of contacts just in case.  I was so glad they didn't even ask so I didn't have to worry about it, hopefully it will be the same for you!

  • I was able to wear mine.  I had a emer c/s, but before that was even a thought, I had asked to make sure it was ok that I was wearing them in general, and the nurse told me there was no reason to take them out unless I wanted to.  That they wanted me to be able to see everything!

  • I wore mine, but I was crying so much when I saw my LO that it didn't matter, I still couldn't see anything haha! I'm sure you're fine to wear them :)

  • I remember this stressed me out heavily for some reason (this and jewelry--because I never go without my ring).

    I believe I was asked at check in if I was wearing contacts (which I was) but they never asked me to remove them.

  • I've had to take mine out all 3 times.

  • Thanks guys.  Seems like it really depends.  I found teh paper work and they said to wear glasses.  I just don't get the reasoning behind it.  Oh well.  Thanks again!

    This.  No one ever asked me, so I just wore them.  Never had any problems.

  • I wore mine and no one said I couldn't.  They ask in that initial questionnaire if you wear contacts or glasses, I said yes, and that was it.

    Ditto the majority. Wore mine, no one said anything about it, no issues.

  • I couldn't wear mine because I had Bell's Palsy and couldn't fully close my left eye. But the hospital would have been fine with it if I'd been able to wear them.
