I am 34wks pg with 1st and im in a lot of pain in my right leg only with varicose veins, i have been given some lovely stockings to wear, which are nearly as thick as 80 den tights, and advised to elevate legs when poss and take pain killers, but even with all this im finding it still very painfull, tried sitting in cool bath etc, but nothing helping, im really at my wits end, and feel really fed up, esp the fact that i had to leave work over 7wks ago due to this problem, im bored to tears!! aaaaahhhhhh!!! Any advice appreciated.

go swimming to help reduce the weight for a while on your legs, this will also encourage better circulation
