There’s no doubt that a woman’s body goes through multiple changes during pregnancy. From the obvious bulge in the belly to the changes internally and emotionally, pregnancy can be a nine-month state of wonder and confusion.
Though we can’t do a whole lot to help you in the way of emotional change, at hosieree.com, we can help you when it comes to some of your bodily changes, one sock-at-a-time.
Leg Fatigue
During pregnancy, women might find that their legs are more tired, their feet more swollen; the heaviness and achiness overwhelming at times. This can be especially more common when a woman:
- Has a history of varicose veins
- Sits for long periods of time
- Exercises less frequently
- Has had more than one pregnancy
With so many hormonal changes that can effect blood flow in the legs, there is a risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), varicose and spider veins, and extreme leg discomfort (including swelling of feet and legs). Wearing support hose, or socks, with graduated compression can help reduce the risk of all of these and can help your legs feel better.
Graduated compression legwear can prevent the blood from pooling in the veins and reduce the risk of elevated heart rate in both mother and baby as well as reducing the risk of edema.
Full Support
For a full support tight, we offer Sophie 70 Maternity tights. Using superior technology, these tights are graduated compression that supports your legs but is comfortable enough to not feel restricting. These are durable, yet feather-light and breathable. Soft and comfortable enough in the waistband to expand as you do, those looking for full coverage and support will find it here.
Knee High
If you’re looking for less coverage, you might consider a knee high compression style. LUI LEI makes a microfiber knee high that comes in a selection of colors to go with any outfit. They provide a light massage to your legs with a medium graduated compression that will improve your blood circulation daily.
