Varicose veins occur when your already sluggish circulatory system is constricted due to the pressure of your growing uterus and the increased blood volume.

Some Women Have Tried...

  • Try exercises for your feet and legs that may help improve circulation.

  • Take frequent rest periods when you have to be on your feet for long amounts of time.

  • Don't wear clothing that is restrictive, or stay in positions that might cut off your circulation.

  • Sit in the cross-legged position whenever possible, and do pelvic rocking daily to promote good circulation.
