Varicose veins

[annie8417]

Urgh I've developed this horrific things ! This is my 4th pregnancy and never had these before it runs from the top of my leg then down my thigh, it hurts and aches so much!!

Will it go away after baby is born (I'm 34wks) or am I stuck with it forever?

Also anyone have ideas how to help the burning, bruising feeling I get with it?

You cab alternate warm and cold water in the shower or just use cold and use cold compresses - cold water will help to contract and strengthen blood vessel walls. Keep feet up as much as possible and maybe wear support / compression socks or tights (eg flight socks. It may go down after pregnancy but you may be left with a bit of a blue vein. Speak to your midwife.

I got them on my vulva this time

Thank you I'll try that , it's so sore and itchy .
Not sure I can make the next 6wks 😩

Ohhhh that must be painful there 😩

Unfortunately you’ll be stuck with it unless you get surgery. I got one on my calf when I was pregnant and I hate it.

It's the pain x just wish it would ease

I know the feeling, it's the itching that gets me. Hope you get some relief soon.
