But then 12 hours later and I realized my eyes hurt so bad because they were still in, even after naps. So just remember to switch after to minimize discomfort :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593656 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:07:27 +0000 cascademom 593656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my glasses during labor and delivery. I haven't been wearing my contacts much, so it wasn't new at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593620 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:57:57 +0000 mrsjyw 593620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore my contacts and brought glasses... I was in labor for 26 hours and had them on the whole time. I pushed for two hours too~ </p> <p>Def wore glasses that night to sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593411 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:52:04 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 593411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate wearing my glasses, but I ended up with them during delivery. My labor was 48+ hours, so by the time the baby actually came my eyeballs would have died had I had my contacts in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593410 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:50:21 +0000 kjpugs 593410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister in law was requested to wear glasses during labor. She asked why and I guess you can't have things like contacts in during a C-section because it's surgery... not sure how that works maybe in case you pass out and they might go behind your eyes? It's a good thing for her though because she ended up needing a C-section. Most of the time it's a precaution in case you need one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593397 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:34:15 +0000 ShootingStar 593397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why can't you wear contacts during a c-section? I wear mine 24-7 too, and don't even have glasses with anywhere near an updated rx. I wouldn't even think to bring them, and I'd be pretty pissed if someone made me take out my contacts, I'd be blind as a bat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593192 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:10:14 +0000 sarac 593192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear glasses, and I am totally drawing a blank as to whether or not I wore mine, and for how long. I'll have to ask my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593167 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:53:02 +0000 birdofafeather 593167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wore mine and brought my glasses for nighttime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593089 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:46:10 +0000 PrincessBaby 593089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593078 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:41:15 +0000 SleepyMonkey 593078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i ended up wearing mine during delivery...and then forgot my glasses so i was blind for the two nights i stayed in the hospital. and then i found them in my purse when i was leaving the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593062 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:37:29 +0000 wheres_c 593062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore mine, and had a c section with them in. No-one asked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-593044 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:29:18 +0000 maybebaby 593044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad I found this thread :) Looks like contacts are A-OK. My vision is REALLY bad and I don't like to wear my glasses...esp because we are planning a water birth, and I feel like glasses+hot water would not work out well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267421 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:19:24 +0000 kiddosc 267421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore mine, I went into labor in the evening and we went into the hospital around 2am. I wasn't thinking about my contacts at that point, and I don't think anyone even asked me if I had them in. I did bring my glasses with me and wore them part of the time I was in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267420 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:17:38 +0000 regberadaisy 267420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I switched out of them before we went because it was 3 in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267416 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:15:13 +0000 hilsy85 267416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will probably have my glasses on...I hate sleeping in my contacts, and I don't want to have to think about taking them out if I need to close my eyes or something. I'll bring both, I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267388 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 07:53:15 +0000 autumnlove 267388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to take mine off for my c-section! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267335 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 05:59:46 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 267335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering about this! I hate working out and getting sweaty in my glasses, so I'm hoping I can go the contact route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267309 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 02:24:10 +0000 Kemma 267309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've worn my contacts at all since I've been pregnant, but then again I really only used to wear them in the weekend anyway (my vision it better with glasses than with contacts).</p> <p>I'm not planning on wearing my contacts again till I go back to my optometrist for my checkup in December / January and I'll get my prescription re-assessed and filled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267297 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:12:50 +0000 lemondrop 267297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore contacts during labor and lived to tell the tale. It wasn't an issue, but I didn't have a c-section. </p> <p>Good thing to put your glasses on your list of things to pack in your hospital bag just in case!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267287 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:10:48 +0000 MamaCate 267287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wear contacts but wore my glasses for delivery. I brought my contacts to the hospital but never took them out. It was easier to wear them and not have to worry about taking care of contacts on top of everything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267282 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:06:30 +0000 mrs. wagon 267282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wore my glasses with the first one and contacts for the second. Brought my glasses in case they asked me to take them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267157 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:06:00 +0000 mrsmenow 267157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with both of my girls. They didn't really ask and I would have told them I didn't have my glasses with me if they did. I wear my contacts all the tme and it would be really uncomfortable for me to wear my glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267154 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:04:26 +0000 IcebergMom 267154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wore my lenses (Canadian hosp) the whole time... Even into the ER for my emerg c-section. Not really sure if the nurses knew I was wearing them or not. Can't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267146 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:01:28 +0000 cvbee 267146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore mine. I can't imagine switching to glasses for labour....it's like a major crazy workout and I would never workout with my glasses on. I was glad I just happened to have a really nice high ponytail in that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267118 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:51:17 +0000 MsMini 267118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to take mine off during my c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contact-lenses-during-delivery#post-267093 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:26:10 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 267093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore mine.
