How long did everyone have to keep their compression socks on after C-Section? I haven’t been told but unsure what to do

I was told to wear them day and night for 10 days but I didn’t need any blood thinning injections, just socks and stay active.

It depends, some don't were at all.. I had for about 2weeks and then on and off when swollen..

Took them off at the hospital day 2 and never wore them again.

I wore them for a week.

I took mine off when I got home from the hospital. I don’t think I was told whether to keep them on or not

I took mine off when i came back from the hospital becase they were making my ankles swell. Pretty sure they gave me the wrong size. I think if you are moving around plenty it should be okay

I'd wear them for a few weeks, I have to wear them a little later on in my pregnancy I think ( I had a dvt in my last pregnancy so I'm assuming I'm gonna have to wear them the further I get on in this one 😅) but to be on the safe side wear them for a good few weeks and definitely give your hospital a call to query it xx

I had to wear them for 6 weeks and have the blood thinning injections for 6 weeks. I think because my bmi and being an x smoker

I was told to wear mine for 10 days, and I was also ok blood thinning injections. However … my feet and ankles swelled up SO bad it was excruciating to remove the socks or put them back on before showering .. so after a few days they went in the bin!!

It varies. I had to wear mine for 6 weeks but also had to wear them for the majority of the pregnancy due to other conditions. Just ask, they'll be able to tell you how long for you specifically.

I was told 10 days xx

I was advised to keep them on for the length of time I was taking the injections so 10 days. I just took them off when getting showered.
