Does anyone who wears compression hose for pregnancy have a favorite brand or style?

In the past, my favorite brand was Bauerfiend, but I can't find them anywhere. I just ordered some Sigvaris. They feel great on my legs but are very constricting around the waist!

It feels like I have to choose between not being able to stand because of my painful veins, or having to deal with a strangling feeling around my belly.

There must be a better solution.

Hi,

You can get the thigh highs, as an option. Also, I had the Medivan during pregnancy and the maternity ones are not constricting at the waist.

I like the Jobst brand too.

HTH,

I used both Jobst during my most recent pregnancy and Medivan. The Jobst only go up to compression strength 20-30 for maternity, while the mediven go up to 30-40 compression. I had luck buying them online at www.supportsockshop.com.

Prayers for a healthy and comfortable pregnancy.
