Benefits of Maternity Compression Stockings

During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes, including an increase in blood volume and fluid. This fluid may cause swelling, often in legs, ankles, and feet. Your legs may ache or feel heavy and tired.

Wearing maternity compression stockings - especially in your third trimester and after delivery provides many benefits, such as:

• Helps to reduce swelling and discomfort in your legs
• Helps promote blood circulation back to your heart to reduce your risk of blood clots
• Helps minimize the risk of spider and varicose veins (33% of first time expectant moms develop varicose veins, and 56% develop them in their second pregnancy)
