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.
