Relief from pregnancy discomfort with support stockings

Weight gain, varicose veins, tired, or painful legs are just a few discomforts that can worsen as the due date approaches. Read below how support stockings during pregnancy help with these types of issues.

Swelling of the legs and feet during pregnancy

Swelling of the feet or legs is often caused by increased pressure on the blood vessels, leading to fluid buildup. Support stockings promote blood circulation, reducing this swelling and providing relief for the expectant mother.

Tired and painful legs

During pregnancy, pressure on the blood vessels is increased, leading to discomfort and swelling in the legs. Support stockings offer degressive compression, stimulating blood circulation, and relieving this pressure.

Prevention of varicose veins

A common discomfort during pregnancy is varicose veins, resulting from increased pressure on the blood vessels. Support stockings provide effective support through degressive compression, promoting blood circulation, and reducing pressure on the veins. This not only helps prevent new varicose veins but also alleviates symptoms of existing ones.

Restless legs

Restless legs are an annoying ailment often occurring during pregnancy, disrupting nighttime rest. The combination of hormonal changes and disrupted blood circulation can lead to restlessness and a burning sensation. Support stockings stimulate blood circulation, reducing symptoms of restless legs.

In summary, support stockings for pregnancy are a valuable addition to the maternity wardrobe. They not only provide immediate relief from discomfort but also contribute to maintaining healthy blood circulation in the long term.
