FAQs

Why do pregnant women need compression stockings?

Pregnancy increases blood volume and pressure on the veins, especially in the legs. Compression stockings help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

When should I start wearing compression stockings during pregnancy?

You can start wearing them in the second trimester if you begin to notice leg discomfort, heaviness, or swelling. However, they can also be used earlier as a preventive measure on the advice of your doctor.

How long should I wear compression stockings each day?

They can be worn for most of the day—especially when standing or sitting for long hours. Remove them before bedtime unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

Are compression stockings safe during pregnancy?

Yes, compression stockings are safe and commonly recommended by obstetricians. Always choose the correct size and pressure level (Class I or II) based on your needs.

Can I wear compression stockings postpartum?

Yes. Postpartum leg swelling and vein pressure may persist for a few weeks. Compression stockings can aid recovery and prevent complications like DVT during the postpartum period, especially after C-section or prolonged bed rest.
