Boots to Help After C-sections?

Hospitals have found in the past decade a way to help prevent leg clots after C-sections. They are pressured leg boots! They inflate and are strapped onto your leg and may help prevent leg clots. Hospitals have already been using these boots in other procedures like hip replacements for example, but more recently some hospitals have also been using them for C-sections. Blood clots in legs may seem like a simple leg pain, but could possibly be DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). If left untreated it could be fatal. It is more common to get more symptoms of DVT though as well, so don't stress. One way to help prevent and ease all worries is by simply asking for these boots if you are having a c-section. Only about 0.2% of women get DVT postpartum.

If you don't like the boot option, but are worried about leg clots the best advice is to stay active and drink water postpartum. Some support socks and keeping your legs elevated as well will help.
