Varicose Veins - any tips to relieve them?

Hi, I am 19 weeks pg with 3rd. Developed a relatively small varicose vein at top of thigh when pg with ds, but it disappeared after pg. Now, at only 19 weeks the same vein came back, but now it has spread right down to my knee. It is hot and sore, and the whole of the front of my thigh ache. It gets worse as the day goes on. Now I don't stand around or sit around for ages, I walk quite a lot, don't work so can put my feet up from time to time - what else can I do? I dread to think what it will be like by 8 months. I am not due to see midwife again until about 24 weeks so any top tips or advice would be gratefully received.

Feel for you! I have really deep ones going all the way up my thigh. Mw sent me to triage as she was worried about dvt.
can't get full tights on nhs i bought www.pebbleuk.com/shop/products.asp?cid=4&pid=5 apparently ones from mother are ones etc don't provide the correct compression. X

It takes a little while to full absorb into the skin, so you need to wait a few minutes. This venorid serum is extremely hydrating.After having time to use this product for awhile, I am quite pleased with it. It feels good, and leaves my skin without varicose veins, and feeling light, not heavy.
