Varicose veins with pregnancy

Varicose veins with pregnancy :_

Varicose veins are veins which have become swollen. The veins in the legs are most commonly affected.

You can also get varicose veins in the vulva (vaginal opening). They usually get better after delivery.

If you have varicose veins
• Try to avoid standing for long periods of time.

• Try not to sit with your legs crossed.

• Try not to put on too much weight, as this increases the pressure.

• Sit with your legs up as often as you can to ease the discomfort.

• Try support tights, which may also help to support the muscles of your legs.

• Try sleeping with your legs higher than the rest of your body – use pillows under your ankles or put books under the foot of your bed.

• Do foot exercises .and other antenatal exercises such as walking and swimming, which will help your circulation.
