I’m 13 weeks, taking a two hour flight tomorrow. Do I need to wear flight socks on such a short flight?

It’s usually flights of 4 hours or more that cause risk of blood clots. I would recommend moving your ankles and walking if you can though as I flew at 6 weeks and back at 8 and spent about a month with swollen ankles after wearing flight socks (although it was a long haul flight)! Not very attractive in my lovely sandals Blush

I would. Scholl do a sheer pair that provides light support - can get from the airport

Thank you, will look out for those.
