I'm almost 16 weeks along with my 3rd and I am having major leg vein problems! They are mostly spider veins, but they are really bad in my lower right leg and they hurt. Has anyone tried compression stockings with good results? where would I buy them? thanks!
 
Hi! I am having the exact same problem! I hate wearing hose but by the end of the night, my right lower leg really hurts a lot! I read in one of my books that they probably won't go away after pregnancy, just become less uncomfortable and not quite as prominant. Of course, there is a surgical procedure, but I don't know too much about this yet. Oh yeah, my book also said to elevate your legs as often as possible and don't cross them, that makes the veins worse. Any other advise would be much appreciated!!
