Stockings

How long did everyone keep wearing the stockings? I’m on blood thinners for 6 weeks but surely I don’t need to keep stockings on the whole 6 weeks too?

Honestly I had mine off before I left the hospital 🙈 Had an emergency c-section on Wednesday 4am and went home Saturday evening but I think I took them off by the Friday They do suggest you keep them on but for me my legs and feet were so swollen they were hurting

I’m 12 days pp now and had enough of putting them on and off for a shower!🤣I feel my legs are swollen too as they seem harder to get on and off!

I think I lasted about 4 days however put them on for the first health visitor appointment and then couldn’t be bothered with it after that 🤣not to say that’s what you should do, but I didn’t have time to be fighting with them whilst having my newborn screaming for a bottle or something 🤣

24h. I had not been told I should keep them on, so I removed them and it has never been mentioned by any medical professionals. I have no clue what's the right thing to do! 🤔

I kept mine on for about a week and I’m now 4 weeks pp, had no issues just try and keep yourself moving as much as possible. I stopped taking my blood thinners in 10 days instead of 6 weeks as I had lumps everywhere and my injection sites were extremely sore

I wasn’t even given any😅 just 6 weeks of blood thinners! Xx

2 days in hospital that’s all

I had them on for 6 days because I was in hospital that entire time. They came off when I got dressed to come home
