Really need advice. Am 14 weeks pregnant and for the last week to 10 days I have been suffering with a vulval varicose vein. I had it in the same place when I pregnant with DD, who is 3, and I was warned it would return in any subsequent pregnancies. It has already reached the point where if I am on my feet for too long, it is hugely swollen and agony. It's even sore to touch the skin lightly, it stings :( I can't stay off my feet as I have 2 DC's and work nights in a busy hospital ward. I haven't been offered any advice by my GP, other than to 'put my feet up'. I don't know what to do. Has anyone any experience or advice please? Thanks in advance.
