How long did people keep the stockings on after c section

@Amy that's what I thought from my past experience it wasn't as long as they said. They are just so painful cutting off my circulation x
I was told a week, they were tight but they stopped me swelling and reduced clot risk. Keep moving too to lower that further.
My midwife told me 6 weeks today
i was in the hospital 5 days and i think i gave up on like day 2 of being at home i didn’t have a c section but they still gave me them and im sure they said 6 weeks to me but there was no chance they were so ugly
I never was given any, when I asked about them I was told it’s not necessary as I was having injections to prevent clotting. X
@Judy that's what I'm thinking I'm taking 2 blood thinning injection a day. I just know they like to be extra cautious. I wouldn't mind wearing the stockings but the digging in is painful x
That’s painful 😥 I’ve only had one a day… Can you ask for a bigger size of the stockings at all ? X
@Judy it really is I kept asking them I cried my eyes out to them and they said they were the right size. So like 1 every 12 hours is that like you? X
10 days x
Memory is a bit hazy but not long, maybe 4 days but I was moving around quite a lot, so I thought it wouldn’t be an issue.
