During pregnancy, your veins have to transport about 20% more blood volume to supply your growing child. As you can imagine, this puts a lot of pressure on your veins. Over time, the weight of the uterus further impedes the venous return, causing blood and fluid retention in the lower legs. Therefore, you might have symptoms such as aching legs, swollen legs and ankles or back pain.
JOBST Maternity products are designed to make your legs feel lighter and to provide relief for your belly and back so that you can enjoy this special time.
