C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?

I was up and about and walking from the day after. I’m on the bloody thinner injections and I stopped wearing them in the day from week 2 and ditched them completely on week 3

I ditched them when I got home. 1st time I was less mobile. Didnt know if you're meant to keep them or not. Never had any problems either time though as I got given blood thinning injections for a few weeks after to take

I ditched them about a week after my section. They caused a huge rash on my legs where they were so tight!
I’ve been fine.
I had the injections too for 10 days (I think) so they helped x

The day after my csection i took them off in hospital they told me too? Then the blood thinners was supposed to have 6 weeks they gave me 2 injections to take home (didnt give me a single one in hospital i was in 3 days) they said theyd call me to collect the rest i chased every few days for a week and gave up so i had 2 needles and no socks and have been fine its been 6 weeks tuesday x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
