No one needs to tell you that pregnancy causes an amazing transformation.
In fact, to meet the added demands of the baby you're carrying, the amount of blood in your body just about doubles.Blood flow is dramatically affected. The hormones that add elasticity during pregnancy weaken and stretch your veins. And the after effects are often subtle and permanent.
To protect your legs during pregnancy, elevate them above your heart when resting. Don't stand or sit for long periods. Avoid crossing your legs or wearing tight-fitting clothes. Ask your doctor about mild leg exercise. Massage your legs. And to maintain leg vein resiliency, wear Mediven graduated compression stockings.
They're sheer. They're comfortable. And they're specially made for better leg health during pregnancy. Ask your doctor.
