Maternity Compression Stockings
Using compression stockings during pregnancy has many benefits for the wearer and overall pregnancy. Compression stockings can help reduce swelling for a more comfortable pregnancy, especially for those on their feet for much of the day. Compression stockings, socks and hose can help improve circulation. While pregnant, women are more prone to blood clots and deep vein thrombosis, thanks to the increase of hormones and other changes in the body. Properly functioning circulation can help reduce these risks. They can help reduce and relieve pain for pregnant women, especially as they enter into the last several months of pregnancy. Improved circulation, helped by the hose, can help reduce the pain in the lower limbs. Lastly, compression tights can help minimize varicose veins, which are a common side effect of pregnancy. The improved circulation helps to minimize these problems.
Maternity Compression Stockings Size
Compression socks have similar sizing to standard socks. They're often found in lettered sized, though, which correspond with your shoe size. Most come in small/medium or large/extra-large.
Compression stockings and socks do also come in different compression levels. The smaller the number, the lighter the compression. Most people require 15-20 mmHg compression to relieve standard swelling and aches. For those with more severe swelling, consult with a health care provider for further information on what level of compression you may need to try.
