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

I had 10 days of tinzaparin and wore the socks for the full 6 weeks, I was walking outside from week 2 but nothing more than that. I'm 40 this year and know 2 people my age who have had dvt that had gone to their lungs plus I've had 3 instances of blood loss and surgery in the last 13 months so i wasn't messing around even though I'm not sure how much evidence there is that it's necessary for 6 weeks 😂

Removed mine as soon as I got home (day4). Had to cut them off they were so tight so that was that 😂

I was told I could take them off the day after I finished the injections (10days) so best believe they came off first thing that morning! Just to keep checking my legs until my 6 week appointment for new bruises or lumps

I was up and about walking around almost right away. I was told to wear them for 10 weeks 🤯 but I wore them
At night only for 2 weeks then gave up. They gave me rashes.

Oh I stopped the next day - I was up next day sland wasn't told to keep them on.x

I took them off in hospital when I had my first shower.

I took mine off once I my catheter was taken out after 6hrs, I was up and walking around every 30 minutes on the ward and then left the house everyday after being home a week for a walk but made sure to walk around the house constantly beforehand

Midwife visit after birth

My bedroom is a tip. The plan was to clear it out last week. But I've been having such bad paint with prodomal labour that I can barely do anything.

My thought process clean it once baby arrives.

Its nothing crazy just piles of clothes as I was sorting through which to keep, give to charity and chuck.

Now I would rather the ground swallow me whole than someone see my how a mess.

The question is when midwifes do the visit at your house the day after birth. Do they look in all your rooms???

Or can they just stay in the living. Say what they have to say and be on there way....

Baby movements

I am 21 weeks pregnant. I have been feeling my baby move since 19 weeks, but I haven’t felt any movement for the past two days. I’m worried. Is this normal, or should I get checked?
