Why Compression Socks are GREAT for Pregnant Women

Wait, what? Compression socks are great for pregnant women? Yes, indeed!

So, you might know already the wonders of compression socks for elderly patients. Honestly, the fight with gravity gets harder and harder each year, for everyone. Those veins have to work so diligently to get blood everywhere and, with time, they just feel like that little “I Think I Can” train from Dumbo.

Well, when you’re pregnant, you’re of course, carrying around extra weight. And there’s the added joy of that extra weight being a beautiful baby! Well, your veins have to dilate to allow blood to flow, more so than usual, due to this little bundle from heaven. Because of this dilation, the walls of the veins can weaken, depending on your genes and other factors. Exciting stuff! We won’t show you any images of vericose veins, but that’s what they are. You can Google those. Needless to say, during this beautiful time of your life, vericose veins, among other things (if you’ve ever been pregnant) can make you feel a little less than beautiful.

This is where compression socks come in.

They’re little miracle workers. You might find that your legs are just more tired and heavy. They might even hurt and be painful! Especially if you work during your pregnancy and are on your feet all the time. If so, you are seriously some kind of wonder woman. Also, you’re most likely suffering and swollen. Compression socks come in a few different lengths, depending on your needs. If you’re having ankle and calf pain, leg and thigh pain, back pain: knee high, thigh high and full length (covering the belly) compression socks were made just for you.

What about putting them on?

During your first and second trimester, you’ll most likely be able to apply these with little to no issues. But as you progress into the pregnancy moving can become a little more cumbersome! You know… the pregnancy waddle? Seeing past your belly to lace up shoes becomes a pastime. You just wear sandals or flats, even. Those are godsend shoes for pregnant women! Anyway, if you can’t put your shoes on, how are you expected to put on socks? Especially compression socks. Ladies, they’re called ‘compression’ for a reason! They are tight. And they are hard to get up your legs.

But the benefits outweigh the struggle.

Less pain and lots of gain! Your leg pain and leg lethargy will lessen significantly. Your circulation improves, too! And, to help lessen your struggle, *insert swoosh sound here* you can get the Personal SocksOn Dressing Aid that can help you put your compression socks on in less than half the time.
