Pregnancy and Varicose Veins:

Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a women’s life. Unfortunately, during pregnancy, women may develop varicose veins in their legs. Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged due to restricted blood flow. Varicose veins can lead to fullness, heaviness, aching, and sometimes pain in the legs.

Maternity and Compression:

Common treatments to varicose veins include getting more rest, watching your diet, and exercise. Most expecting mothers do not find this to be enough. Women have found much relief in wearing maternity compression socks during their pregnancy. Maternity compression socks and compression leg sleeves allow for increased circulation, helping to reduce or even eliminate the problem of varicose veins.
