I wore mine 5 days 😂I was perfectly fine and felt so much better after x

@Chardonnay did you have any swelling? I had badly swollen feet first 3days but now I don't have any but I'm sick of wearing them I'm 11days pp x

@Jessica my legs were like big marshmallows it was horrible😂 as soon as I took them off my legs went back to normal after a few days mine were literally cutting in me honestly they are horrid x

@Chardonnay omg really? Mine are falling down my legs now there not swollen... there just annoying 😑 🙄 might ring my midwife see what she says x

As soon as the midwife came to visit she told me to take them off. I told her the hospital told me to wear them constantly and she was like, noooo, you are up and moving so you don’t need to wear them x

@Leigh I might ask them if I can no longer wear them as there driving me round the bend 😂x

I’m 5 weeks pp and I only wear mine for bed. Took them off for a couple of hours for the first 2 weeks, now I take them off as soon as I wake up and put them on when I get into bed x

I think mine lasted 3 days due to how swollen my feet and legs got . My partner and I physically couldn't get then on anymore. As long as you're up and walking and bring active they say you don't need to worry about them so much.

Thank you both for sharing 😊

I wore mine the full 6 weeks 😂 I had a lot of anxiety after birth so I was worried about not wearing them and something going wrong. I had to do 6 weeks injections too so thought better to be on safe side. I thought I had to wear them constantly, was wearing to bed too 😂 (I had a few pairs) until the midwife told me a few weeks in I didn’t have to wear to bed just during the day.

I wore mine for 3 days as I couldn't bare them! I had really bad swelling but I just elevated my legs as high as I could without being in pain and the swelling soon went down I think it took around 2-3 days

Thank you both 💓

I was told 10 days by the hospital, though I think by day 7 I'd forgotten to put them back on 😅. My midwife said that provided I was up and walking, I didn't have to wear them constantly anyway, and we've been pretty active this last week!

@Cat thank you x

I was told to wear mine for 10 days but when speaking to the midwife because I was up and about as much as I could 6 days post csection I was advised to just wear them for bed because you don't move about at night x

@Rose thank you that's helpful x

@Jessica it may be different based on your own circumstances/medical history, but might be worth asking the midwife if you could stop wearing them ☺️. I didn't have to do the blood thinning injections either, so I'm not sure if that's why I only had to wear them for 10 days!

@Cat no I didn't get the blood thinning injection as it was a planned section you don't get them with a planned c
