Maternity Stockings

Maternity stockings, otherwise known as maternity hosiery, are a simple and inexpensive way to help prevent or reduce the occurrence of varicose and spider veins in pregnant woman. These specialized hosiery products are often overlooked by woman even though leg swelling and discomfort are some of the more common issues of pregnancy.

It’s not enough to use standard pantyhose to support proper blood circulation in your legs during pregnancy. Regular stockings are not rated strong enough to provide counter-pressure to veins.

Another added benefit is that these stockings don’t just support your legs, but they also extend higher up to your abdomen. As any pregnant woman knows, the weight of your abdomen as you get further along is uncomfortable and even painful at times. Having specialized stockings that surround your abdomen adds a little extra comfort that you wouldn’t otherwise have. If you’re looking for products to provide longer lasting abdominal support during pregnancy, then you might be interested in postpartum belts (maternity support belts).

As far as fashion is concerned, just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you don’t care about style. Many available maternity stockings have cute patterns and lacey designs that make you look as good as these stockings will make you feel.

You can expect anywhere between 15%-35% spandex content so flexibility and stretch won’t be an issue with these products. The remaining fabric make-up is typically a nylon fabric.

Many pregnancy stocking manufacturers are companies that you already recognize, such as Motherhood Maternity and Gabrialla. Knowing this you’re sure to find a style, size and fit that caters to your pregnant body shape.

For a product that costs as little as $10 maternity stockings really are something that all pregnant women can benefit from. Varicose veins are not only unsightly but pose real health risks such as heart conditions and other circulatory conditions. At a time when your body is most stressed and strained using something as simple as hosiery can go a long way to better health and a more comfortable you.

Be sure to review all products to get the best fit for you. Motherhood Maternity, Bershire and Jobst Stockings provide many options for medical stocking apparel.
