Pregnancy is a very special time for the mom and the child to bond. Nine months of carrying a child are no easy task but definitely rewarding in the end. During pregnancy, a mother experiences many physical changes, especially in the legs. The legs take on a lot of strain because of the weight that a mom has to carry. Consequently, many mothers develop varicose veins during pregnancy.
About 30% of women who are pregnant for the first time develop varicose veins. This is according to a statistical report by Swiss Medical Weekly. Women who are expecting can also develop DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis especially during the late stages of the pregnancy. Aside from hormonal changes, there is an increase in blood clotting possibility in women who are pregnant.
So, if you are expecting a baby, it is not just the nursery that you need to prepare for, you also have to take care of your legs and keep them healthy.
The common leg problems during pregnancy include venous disorders, which are the most frequent medical conditions in the U.S. You might experience this disorder if it is your first pregnancy. You can feel heaviness on the legs, swollen feet, and aching legs due to your pregnancy.
Some women are more susceptible to these problems because of their family history. If there are people in the family tree who have varicose veins and other venous diseases, you might experience them as well, especially when you get pregnant. If you have a venous condition before the pregnancy, you will most likely have them while pregnant. If, when pregnant, you sit and stand for a prolonged period, or do not exercise regularly then you are also prone to different leg problems.
DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis and pregnancy are not uncommon. At full term, there is an increase in the blood volume of a pregnant woman. This can be the cause of DVT. The expanding uterus puts a lot of pressure on the blood vessels, which restricts the blood flow from the legs to the pelvis to the heart. Slower blood flow means a high risk of DVT. Even after pregnancy, there is still a risk of DVT.
The pressure of the baby’s head in the pelvis area obstructs the venous outflow from the legs, which can cause slowing of the blood flow, valve damage and resulting in feet and leg swelling and discomfort, and varicose veins.
Before you try to address the concern on your own, consult your doctor. If your health expert allows you, you can start wearing the socks. CopperJoint has strategically designed compression socks to offer the user comfort and ease. After all, pregnant women already face various issues. They get irritated easily, which makes them uncomfortable in many situations.

Yes! It is actually best for pregnant women. The compression of the sleeve helps with blood circulation in the legs. The sleeve material is embedded with copper ions. The copper (like the magnetic bracelets) can help pull the electricity from your body and relieve it. It is believed that a damaged nerve traps electricity in your body, and can cause pain, burning, redness, loss of appetite, insomnia, headaches, and more. So, using a copper-infused sleeve made by CopperJoint could help relieve joint pain.
Also, copper has antibiofouling and antimicrobial applications/properties; embedding copper into the fabric definitely helps keep the sleeve odor free and clean from germs, and your skin can only benefit from this.
