For Expectant Mothers

Pregnancy is a special time but also comes with its physical challenges.These socks reduce swelling and enhance blood circulation in the legs, making daily activities more manageable.

 

During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes to support the growing baby. The mother’s blood volume increases by 40%-50%, and hormonal changes combined with the pressure from the expanding uterus place additional strain on the veins, particularly in the lower legs. This can heighten the risk of developing vein-related issues such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and varicose veins.

In many developed countries, it is common for expectant mothers to wear compression stockings daily. Doctors frequently recommend medical compression stockings during pregnancy due to their numerous advantages. These stockings help reduce the risk of blood clots and varicose veins, alleviate swelling and heaviness in the legs, and enhance blood flow to the womb. Research also suggests that wearing compression stockings can lessen pregnancy-related morning sickness.

  • Q1. Why wear compression socks during pregnancy?
    Wearing compression socks during pregnancy can alleviate edema and varicose veins by enhancing blood flow to the legs. They help relieve leg discomfort and fatigue, supporting the veins. This is particularly beneficial during the later stages of pregnancy when the uterus puts increased pressure on the leg veins, potentially causing circulation issues or blood pooling in the legs.
  • Q2. When is the best time to wear compression socks during pregnancy?
    The second and third trimesters are the most suitable times to wear compression socks. This is when the growing uterus exerts the most pressure on the leg veins, potentially causing swelling and discomfort. Compression socks can help manage these symptoms and promote better blood flow, reducing the risk of varicose veins.
  • Q3. Do compression socks help with pregnancy nausea?
    Compression socks are not designed to address pregnancy-related nausea directly. Nausea during pregnancy is usually related to hormonal changes and other factors. However, wearing compression socks may improve blood circulation and reduce leg discomfort.
  • Q4. What size compression socks do I need for pregnancy?
    Selecting the correct size is essential for comfort and efficacy. Your gynecologist or healthcare provider can recommend the appropriate size. Additionally, we offer a detailed sizing guide to help you choose the right size and take accurate measurements.
  • Q5. Do compression socks help with swelling after pregnancy?
    Yes, compression socks can help reduce postpartum edema, the swelling of legs and feet due to pregnancy-related fluid retention. Compression socks promote better circulation and help push excess fluid back toward the heart, reducing swelling and discomfort. Additionally, keeping your legs elevated, reducing salt intake, and staying hydrated are helpful practices to minimize swelling after childbirth.
