2. If you already are expecting a baby, your actions should be aimed at, to prevent stagnation of blood in the legs and improving its outflow. Here the main methods are physical activity (gymnastics, Hiking), and the so-called compression therapy. Compression treatment is performed by wearing elastic stockings or foot-binding bandages. Elastic stockings can be of different lengths: knee length (knee) or above. The latter is preferable, as they provide compression across the length of the legs.
3. From compression hosiery there are drawbacks: after a long wear and a few washes it may lose its properties. So, in a sense, foot binding is preferable to wear special stockings or knee socks. Bandage the legs according to certain rules, starting with the foot, the first bandage – clockwise, the second – against. To apply elastic bandages, as well as to wear compression stockings, should be in the morning, lying in bed. At night they are removed.
