Thanx, guys

must just be something some doctors choose to do do or not , on the safe site it seems like it should be given ,

im thinking maybe i was given it with my first cesarean, as the doc didnt think i would be up and about straight away ,
where as with my second one which was done very early am, i was moving only cpl hours afterwards, hence me not having to have it prehaps.

i have never worn the stockings though , or had a machine massage my muscles.

thankyou all for replying, it has given me some reason as to why i had it once and not the other,

kind regards sarah
