Anyone Buy Compression Stockings?

My OB suggested I get some since my swelling has started early (to her). 

Where did you buy them?  Did you get knee-hi's?  Or full?

I'm so confused...

    I got a set of knee-high's from CVS or Walgreens for about $10.  They seem to work pretty well.

    I'm a nurse and am on my feet literally all day so I wear the knee highs every day to work. I think it really helps.

    I had bought some compression knee highs during my first pregnancy.  I think I found them at Motherhood Maternity.  They did help.  Sadly when I was going through my old maternity clothes, one of them seems to have walked away.  Luckily I haven't started to swell yet, which gives me time to go out and get more.

    I normally wear compression hose for a health condition. Typically I wear the thigh highs but when my ob saw them he said that I should wear compression hose but I had to switch to the panty hose as being pregnant I shouldn't have anything tight around my legs that might restrict circulation. So I wear the maternity compression stockings  in panty hose (get the maternity the belly panel makes it pretty comfortable) . I get it from a local medical supply store but I have also considered ordering online. You can just do a search for maternity compression stockings.  HTH!

    I got some knee-high ones at Walmart for a long plane trip - seemed to work well.  I think they run $15-20/ pair.  You could also see if your insurance  will cover them if your OB will write you a prescription....
