Varicose Veins and Pregnancy (Maternity) Hosiery Becoming a mother is a wonderful time in a woman's life, but it can also be a time when, for the first time, you develop leg related problems, due to the additional weight you are carrying, and the additional pressure put on the circulatory system of your legs. A significant body of scientific literature suggests that varicose and spider veins begin in many women during pregnancy, yet many doctors do not have the information necessary to discuss the benefits of compression support hosiery, until leg problems become severe. Regular support hosiery, that might be bought in a department store or specialty maternity shop, simply does not clinically work. (They may make your legs feel good temporarily due to the hugging action, but they do not help return fluids and blood back up the venous system to the heart, reducing swelling and pressure in the legs.) In order to aid circulation problems in the legs and reduce swelling and potentially aid in preventing future varicose veins, a minimum 12mmHg (a type of pressure measurement standard) pressure at the ankle is necessary. Pressure must be graduated (reduced gradually) up the leg, in order to work effectively. (See Taking care of your legs for more information on how graduated compression hosiery helps your legs.) If you are pregnant and beginning to see varicose or spider veins or have problems with minor leg swelling, talk to your doctor about compression support hosiery to help relieve your symptoms and possibly prevent your leg problems from becoming worse. Our products do not require prescription. We are not physicians, but we do offer the best compression hosiery that is available on the world wide web. Compression hosiery for the mom-to-be is simply good preventive medicine.At Ames Walker, We have maternity compression hosiery in both a light and firm pressure level, that can be purchased directly over the internet and it's the same quality as you would buy at retail under a brand name for much, much more.
The information collected here has been developed over searches on the internet. We are not in any way responsible for, or endorse, information on other web sites, it is here for public information. Your doctor is the best source of leg health information and treatment. We hope you find this information helpful.
