Pregnancy Support Hose

Fortunately, wearing support hose can help. Worn early in pregnancy, they can prevent varicose veins and painful swelling of the legs, feet, and ankles. If you've already got varicose veins, or even less noticeable spider veins, they can prevent them from worsening and even offer some much needed relief from pain. If you're fortunate enough not to have any problems with varicose veins, wearing support hose can simply improve circulation and prevent tired, aching legs for anyone.

Pregnancy and aging are the two main reasons physicians prescribe support hose. Whether you wear support pantyhose, knee-highs, or socks, proper care is necessary to retain the elasticity. Check out the five tips in this article.
