18 weeks with first, and feeling fine save for legs v v bad. can only wear flip flops as anything else give me panic-y leg and foot claustrophobia.
always had bad-ish veins in legs (am 30) but now my calves look like that bit from Alien where thing comes out of Sigourney Weaver's stomach.
know its only going to get worse. heard horse chesnut good, but read i can't take it when pregnant, so wondering about topical creams?? there must be something?? and please not just stockings which i know i'll be using soon enough (oh my god this is the end of sexy and end of glam) -- do they just help them getting worse, or do they help with pain?
plus has anyone had surgery and what's it like and how much is it privatley and how soon after birth can i do it?
so many questions.... x
