A member asked:
Do you have to wear support stockings after an emergency c-section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: After a csection, the best way to prevent dangerous blood clots is to get up and move. During the csection we use devices on the legs to reduce clots that can be continued until the mom is moving. Generally we want our patients out of bed by the following morning.
