Hi!

Anyone here using compression stockings to try and prevent varicose veins in pregnancy? Can you recommend a particular brand?

My legs are fine at the moment but my mum and my aunts all developed varicose veins after childbirth so I figure it can't hurt to give the sticking a go.

Never used them to prevent veins but I don't think there's much difference between brands.

Staying active throughout your pregnancy will help reduce the chances of vv's though.
