I took mine off after a week .. never got told to wear them for so long.
I feel for you 🫠🫠🫠

I was told to wear them 6 weeks, however I took them off after a week and the health visitor said as long as you’re moving through the day that it’s completely okay to take them off, maybe just wear them at bedtime now x

I took mine off 3 hours after my csection

I never wore them after mine. I just stayed active and never had to worry about it. But I will say is take them off love and dry brush instead. I stopped swelling after I learned how to drain my body from toxins. I haven't swelled up in years.

I wore mine last summer for 6 weeks but my health visitor told me if I'm moving I don't need them on so I started to only wear them for bed. I don't envy you!

I had to wear them for 6 weeks and got told if I’m moving then it’s fine to take off but when I’m sat or laid down for long periods, to wear them. My midwife also used the words ‘do you really think women are wearing these things in summer, I think not!’ 🤣

Baby boy

Baby boy Isaac couldn’t wait until our booked section on Friday, waters broke at 4:30am and labour began fast! Born today at 12:30pm💙🥰

Baby no2!

Would anyone mind sharing positive or negative experiences with VBAC's ? I've just had a consultant appointment and really don't know what to do!

Is my craving weird?

Just tried to explain to my husband and mother why mango and smoked paprika is amazing but they’ve both said that’s weird!

What is happening to me 33weeks pregnant

For the past 3 weeks my poo has been quite soft and much more smelly than normal, I have constantly been suffering with eggy burps and severe tummy ache almost like trapped gas. Any advice on what to do thank you .

Present for older sibling from the baby 👶🏼

I’m due 2 weeks tomorrow, and just wondered if anyone who’s having baby no.2 is getting a gift for their eldest child from the baby? And if so what are you getting? I feel like it would be a lovely thing to do, and my daughter would love it, I just don’t really know what to look for 🤣 so ideas are welcome ☺️

Did you have less midwife appointments with your 2nd pregnancy?

The last midwife appointment I had was back in March (I think) and then I was told by the midwife that I wouldn't be seen until I am 28 weeks, I believe I was 14 or 15 weeks at the time. I do have an appointment for June 22, however I just have some concerns. I told the midwife in March that I want a VBAC and she told me I need to have a consultation at the hospital when I am 28 weeks, she also said I need my RSV jab and whooping cough by 28 weeks. On top of that I need an appointment for my glucose test because diabetes runs in my family. I haven't received word on any of that, I also don't have an assigned midwife as mine left to go work in the hospitals. Already I have had to reach out to the midwife number because the midwife I saw had my due date wrong and that took me 5-6 days to get an answer back to get it fixed. Just worried about having to do everything all at once and it being too much and overwhelming... As no one would want to have to do the RSV jab, whooping cough and glucose test all within the same week or two. Just wondering if this is normal?
