Support stockings anyone???

by em_stevo 4th April 2009, 11:31 am

Just wondered if anyone else on here was told to wear support stockings after their ba?? I have been told that I need to wear them for at least the next 5 days??? I have never heard of this before!! I mean it doesnt make that much difference to me as its not like im goin anywhere or doing anything, just they're not the most glamorous of things and they hurt too!!!!!xx

Hiya hun, i wasnt told to but then i wasnt given them to wear during the op either which really surprised me! Most ladies seem to have worn them during the op and i have had 3 C-sections and always had to wear them during and after the op for at least 3 days!! I have quite bad Varicase (?) veins so thought i would defo have to wear them but no. Strange x

I wore for the op and for a couple of days after the op since i wasnt moving much at all! lol x

Were you only told to wear them a couple days nads?? Or were you meant to wear them for longer, im debating whether to give them a few more days then take them off, they really hurt when im asleep as they really are sooooo tight!!xx

lol my ps didnt say i should or anything and i know majority of girls take them off once they leave the hospital anyway x

by **nads** 5th April 2009, 10:26 am

I was just imagining while on the op table with all those people around, but then they are doctors and have seen it all i guess!

by em_stevo 5th April 2009, 10:30 am

Hahaha i thought that too, i wonder if they peak down there when your under, lol, how sick am I??? I guess theres that many people in theatre they wouldnt be able to get away with it, hahaha

by **nads** 5th April 2009, 10:37 am

Ewwwww!!!! Hysterical

I had an iodine stain on my knicks and thought hmmm! lol

hey hun i got told to wear the stockings for a WEEK!!! Although after the third day i couldn't bear them, they made me so uncomfortable and so i called my nurse and asked ifi could take them off...think there only a precautionary measure but if your moving about and get your circulation moving then i don't see no probs with you takng them off. I had the full length, thight high ones as they had run out of knee high ones, not very fetching at all!!!
happy healing hun

Yeh stacey, mine are the thigh ones too!! I took them off this mornin and honestly cant get them back on. I hope i`ll be ok to not wear them, xxx

by stacyjane 5th April 2009, 1:31 pm

You should be fine hun, the nurse just told me to keep moving about, and every hour or so just move my feet and ankles to make sure the circulation keeps moving.

hope your healing well
