But yes even my husband suggested I cut them again since he is worried I will scratch the baby especially while giving her a bath </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186919 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:15:05 +0000 chopsuey 186919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.

I didn't want to have to worry about scratching her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186841 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:29:34 +0000 sulli301 186841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Congrats again! I trimmed mine &amp; filed them but kept them just past my finger tips &amp; that worked out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186828 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:19:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 186828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol I agree about the poop under the nails!! I was washing my hands so often, they started to get cracked and dry. (It was the middle of winter.) I kept my nails super short all the time, especially since we could use our fingers as pacifiers during diaper changes. </p> <p>I did scratch him a few times with my ring!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186637 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 05:06:27 +0000 Andrea 186637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I had the adrenaline for about two weeks afterwards I think. After that, I started to need real sleep! Glad everything is going well. She is gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186636 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:58:15 +0000 pastemoo 186636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut them so he can suck on my fingers. Bummer after the beautiful pregnancy nails! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186635 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:57:36 +0000 mediagirl 186635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: hi!! I'm feeling surprisingly well for very little sleep in two nights (one hour Sunday, 2 hours last night because of adrenaline). Recovery is going quite well. :-) </p> <p>Oh, poop under nails. Didn't think about that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186633 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:53:03 +0000 Andrea 186633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi!! How are you doing?? </p> <p>Yes, I kept my nails shorter. It is VERY important because .... you don't want to get poo stuck under them like I did!! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cut-your-nails-when-your-lo-was-born#post-186628 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:49:09 +0000 mediagirl 186628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the perks of pregnancy was amazing nails! Now I'm worried I'm going to scratch our little girl when I try to get her to detach from a boob or just in general. I'm thinking of snipping my nails down to leave just a little white. </p> <p>Did you cut your nails when your lo was born? Did you ever scratch him or her? </p>
