We all know pregnancy effects women’s overall vein health, but…Did you know that the volume of blood in a woman’s body
increases by as much as 50% during pregnancy?
Because of the extra volume of blood during pregnancy, varicose veins are a common issue.
Here are 10 tips to help prevent varicose veins during pregnancy…
Low-impact exercises like walking, bicycling and swimming are recommended exercises as they help to move blood through your veins and can help prevent
varicose veins.
Tip #1: Exercise
Tight clothing can constrict blood flow, which can lead to blood pooling in your veins. Focus on wearing loose apparel – it will be more comfortable for you and baby.
Tip #2: Avoid Tight Clothes

Compression stockings and socks are the one constrictive clothing item that is recommended. They offer extra pressure to your legs, where varicose veins
are more likely to form.
Tip #3: Invest in some compression socks
Make sure to elevate your legs throughout the day to help promote circulation. Alternate propping your legs up on a stool and flexing your ankles to help keep blood flowing.
Tip #4: Elevate your legs
Focus on eating fruits, vegetables, lean meats and unprocessed foods. In addition, consuming extra vitamin
C will help ensure strong blood flow.
Tip #5: Eat a Healthy Diet
When you sit or stand for a long period of time, your blood pools in your veins, which can lead to the development of varicose veins. Instead, move around regularly and try to
shift your position to maintain comfort.
Tip #6: Avoid long periods of
standing or sitting
Sleeping on your left side will promote good circulation. It will also avoid pressure on your body's main blood
vessels, which will reduce your chances of developing varicose veins.
Tip #7: Sleep on your left side
High heels, especially when worn during pregnancy, can promote blood pooling and circulation issues. Wearing
flats can increase your overall comfort as well.
Tip #8: Avoid High Heels
Avoid lifting heavy objects that cause you to strain as this can lead to vein visibility. Pregnancy puts extra pressure
on your veins, which can lead to varicose veins. Don’t forget to take extra care of your legs.
Tip #9: Don't strain
While treatment cannot be performed during pregnancy, if varicose veins remain after pregnancy, consider
consulting a medical professional to remove them. If left untreated, varicose veins can lead to serious issues like
restless leg syndrome.
