Hi all. Am currently 29 weeks pregnancy and have a lovely varicose vein on my ankle that is about to ulcerate. Have seen my doctor and she has told me to get level 2(30-40mg) compression maternity full length stockings asap to prevent this.
I have been to the pharmacy who has advised me these are not available on the NHS so have been looking to purchase online.
I've looked on Pebble UK however as I'm larger they don't seem to stock my size and other sites are charging upwards of £80 for one pair which seems extortionate to me!
Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get them for less than this as I can't afford for the veins to get any worse?
Thanks in advance!
