Pregnancy & Maternity Compression Socks

Pregnant women often experience swelling, or edema, particularly in the feet and ankles, which is especially common in hot weather and later in the day. This is usually caused by hormonal changes that increase fluid retention, putting pressure on veins and causing fluid buildup in the lower extremities. Hot weather or standing for long periods can worsen the feeling of discomfort. The growing womb also impacts blood flow to the legs, contributing to the swelling.
