Any mummies facing very bad varicose veins during pregnancy? Mine is very bad especially my left leg. The veins are very popped out. Any remedies or cream that can help?

Unfortunately, varicose veins are a (not-so-pleasant) side effect of pregnancy. Thankfully, it is likely that they will shrink or disappear within a few months after a mother gives birth. To help lessen the effect of these veins, you can try doing the following: - Get off your feet whenever you can to help keep the blood following. Elevate your legs if possible. - Minimize sitting with your legs crossed - Move around, take walks to help improve circulation of blood in the legs - Wear comfortable clothes that are not too tights (especially around the waist, near the top of your legs). - Wear comfortable shoes that are not tight fitting or have stiletto heels. Also avoid socks with tight elastic tops. - Keep to a balance diet. Include more food high in vitamin C so that your body could use it to produce collagen and elastin to help keep your veins healthy. It is also suggested that berries and garlic could help make vein walls and blood vessels stronger. - Sleep on your left side to help avoid pressure on your main blood vessels to keep the circulation strong. Apart from these, you can refer to this article for some home remedies that you can consider: http://www.top10homeremedies.com/home-remedies/home-remedies-varicose-veins.html Hope this helps!

My friend has varicose veins during pregnant and she got a pair of maternity compression socks to ease the swelling and reduce the varicose veins. She commented that it is effective to reduce the varicose veins. She got it from pharmacy shop at KKH. http://www.maternitysockshop.com/home.php

Like Hui Qun mentioned, it's pretty common during pregnancies. I wore compression socks by Scholl to sleep at night to help improve blood circulation and it seemed to have help because I didn't have any
