I just made sure to walk around a bit during the flight but it was a 4 hour flight so not too long. mine went up to mid thigh i believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/compression-sockstockings#post-937964 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:51:46 +0000 Lozza 937964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Interesting... I was wondering whether there was a difference. I've actually never had issues with swelling before- not with my previous pregnancy, and not so far with this one, so I have no idea how that will all manifest on a plane ride...</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Were they stockings comfortable? I'm kind of afraid that if I get stockings it will be uncomfortable around my waist for such a long time, so I'd kind of rather get socks or leggings.</p> <p>@lawbee11: HOT. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/compression-sockstockings#post-937944 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:47:43 +0000 looch 937944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc recommended the thigh high ones, he basically said (for the swelling I had) and the flying I was doing, I would be doing more harm than good with the knee high ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/compression-sockstockings#post-937937 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:45:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 937937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bought a pair of stockings from here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.compressionstockings.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.compressionstockings.com/</a></p> <p>When I flew at 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/compression-sockstockings#post-937926 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:43:05 +0000 lawbee11 937926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny you should ask this...today is my first day wearing my compression socks! I ordered these from Amazon: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Truform-20-30-Below-Open-Toe-Medium/dp/B000A33GA8/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Truform-20-30-Below-Open-Toe-Medium/dp/B000A33GA8/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2</a></p> <p>Because it's my first day wearing them I can't really tell you how effective they are yet, but they got good reviews and are comfortable. They were a little tricky to get on, but I assume that's they way most are since they're designed to be so tight. I got the open toe style so that I can wear them with maxi dresses and flip flops...sexy, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/compression-sockstockings#post-937900 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:37:47 +0000 Lozza 937900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking a couple of long flights next week, at 28/29 weeks pregnant, and my OB wants me to wear compression socks/stockings. Does anyone have recommendations for a particular brand, or socks vs. stockings vs. leggings? </p>
