Light exercises should help with varicose veins, and yes, try to elevate your feet as much as you can. It helped me a little with during my pregnancy]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 20:28:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43725&PID=5901073&title=varicose-veins#5901073 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43725&PID=5855004&title=varicose-veins#5855004 Author: Keleho

I had a small varicose vein appear on my right leg during my second pregnancy. Caused no issues, mostly disappeared afterwards (just a slightly more obvious group of veins).
I'm now 28 weeks with my third, and after having the existing one and a new one pop up on my leg (though not causing any issues yet), I'm now getting them on my labia - two have appeared in the last few days.
My midwife said that I may get them when I saw her earlier this week (especially as I'm getting a lot of pressure down there already), and recommended elevating my feet as much as possible (not often possible with a 3.5 and 2 year old at home!), and that if they get really bad, we would look at compression socks.

Wondering if anyone that had these had issues during their pregnancy/labour, and what was done about them?
