C-section compression stockings

Anyone who has had a c-section, how long were you advised to wear your compression stockings for? I don’t think the hospital told me before I left 🫣

Until you get home I was told u can take them off xx

I wasn't given any so haven't worn them at all xx

I was told 6 weeks! But they were digging into me and making my legs worse, so once I was more mobile and moving around I took them off x

6 weeks unless you are up and about and mobile before then. I wore them to bed for the full 6 weeks but when I was walking about during the day I had them off x

I had to wear mine for 10 days. The same amount of time I had to inject blood thinners for. I was quite mobile tho so took them off after 6 days but continued injections x

I wasn’t told either but I took them off the next day before I was sent home and I left the socks in the room 😅 x

I was told 6 weeks if I could. My first born was mid heatwave so it was so freakin uncomfortable! Second baby was born in January so much more doable 😃

I took them off once I left the hospital. I was pretty mobile once home. Even going for walks etc.

I was told 6 weeks but did 2 xx

Told to keep mine on at least whilst I’m having injections ( blood thinning) and not that mobile My lower legs are so blood swollen as are my feet

I was told a week, but I wasn't given them until 24 hours after my section!

10 days

I was told only need them on now if I'm not going to be mobile. Had baby 5 days ago and they have swollen up since yesterday so might introduce them at night at least. I'm on 6 weeks of injections

10 days x

I was told 2 weeks, but kept them for about a week. I was in a lot of pain for relatively mobile within a week of the surgery so wasn’t worried. So many appointments to go to with the little one 😅
