Maternity Stockings - Treatment For Varicose Veins
Sometimes when your pregnant clothes do not fit quite as well, your back gets to hurting, or those darn varicose veins start to popping out.
That is when shapewear comes to the rescue.
There are an array of products that will help you maintain comfort while your body changes and expands and after birth shapewear can help pull you back into your youthful figure.
No matter what phase of life your in, women's shapewear can always be a tool to help you feel and look your best.
Today I am speaking about maternity support hose for the legs.
Varicose veins sometimes first show up when a women becomes pregnant.
During pregnancy the uterus grows and adds pressure inside the inferior vena cava which supplies blood circulation to the legs.
The amount of blood in a pregnant woman's body is increased with her little bundle of joy so that adds to the work those veins have to do.
If the inferior vena cava is compressed by your uterus, it becomes harder for the blood to recirculate thereby causing pooling of blood in the leg areas.
Here are some more reasons you would have varicose veins: 1.
If you are overweight during pregnancy.
2.
Carrying more than one pregnancy.
3.
Have a family history of varicose veins.
Maternity support stockings make it easy for the body to send the blood back to the heart and thereby easing up on the pressure in the legs.
Special medical grade maternity support hose also known as graduated compression hose are twice as thick as regular pantyhose.
They are tight at the bottom and become more loose as they go up the leg.
This assists the body in sending the blood back to the heart.
This also helps prevent some of the ankle swelling.
Speaking of ankle swelling, it reminds me of a funny story when I was carrying my daughter.
I had this hankering for some vinegar and salt potato chips, so I went to the store and purchased a large bag.
Those chips got so good to me, that I ate an entire bag all by myself.
By the time I arrived for my routine doctor's visit the next day, my ankles had swollen up so large, that my thighs and ankles looked the same.
My doctor asked me what the heck was going on and then I had to fess up to my binge.
My body exposed the secret I was trying to keep; too much salt in my diet.
I could have used some support stockings at that time because my feet and calves were killing me.
I learned my lesson, no more salt and vinegar potato chip binges during pregnancy, it creates a perfect situation for ankle swelling and discomfort.
