Varicose Veins

Anyone have these? I started getting them with my very first pregnancy. They have gotten more pronounced with each pregnancy. They have never bothered me before. And they are mostly in my left leg.

But when I got up this morning to get ready for work, it felt as if someone pulled a rope underneath the skin in my leg. It didn't hurt. But I felt them. I am just worried that they will get really bad and will start hurting.

I was wondering if anyone had these while pregnant with twins and how it effected when you stopped working, bedrest, etc, or did it not effect anything at all?

I have never had them, but a friend did and had to get a Rx for special hose that helped enormously. Mention this to your doctor at your next appt. Good luck!

 

Sorry to hear taht. No experience myself, but i wonder if support socks or something like that might help - I'd ask your doc.

 

I think the less you are on your feet the better off you will be. Ted hose will help relieve some of the pressue on your legs and you can buy them at any medical supply store. They have to be measured to your calves. As your pregnancy progresses you may benefit from bedrest so they don't get bad. Most twin moms have to be on bedrest at some point anyway. Sorry no personal experience with this but I can empathize with you. I think I've had most of the other pregnancy symptoms though!
