    I wore them for the two weeks I was on bed rest and for the few days I was in hospital after the c/s but never had to wear them at home either (but I never got the blood thinning shots either)
    Lovely fashion item they are

    I took them off the day after the c/s. Nobody noticed until I was packing to leave and the nurse said "you should have kept them on" oops.....

    I was only told to wear mine those first few days when I was still in hospital. It was when I was up and walking around that they said it was fine to take them off.
    It is so interesting hearing how people are told such different things depending on which hospital they go to. 3 days - 4 weeks is a huge difference! Weird.
