Maternity Compression Stockings & Socks

By midday, many mums-to-be feel their ankles puff, calves feel heavy, and standing at work or the school run gets tough. Maternity compression stockings step in quietly: a gentle, graduated squeeze that’s firmest at the ankle and eases upward to help blood move back toward the heart, so swelling eases and legs feel lighter. That’s the simple physics of a pressure gradient supporting venous return.

Why pregnancy legs need extra support?

Pregnancy changes circulation (more blood volume, vein relaxation, and a growing uterus). Daily pregnancy compression socks/stockings can reduce ankle and leg edema and improve comfort; they’re commonly recommended to ease symptoms like heaviness and varicose vein discomfort. 

How to wear for the best results?

Put your compression hose for pregnancy on first thing in the morning (when legs are least swollen) and wear throughout the day. Many start with light compression (often 15–20 mmHg) for mild swelling; your clinician may guide higher levels if needed.

Who benefits most?

Great for long sitting or standing, travel days, or if you’ve had pregnancy-related swelling before. If you have specific medical risks, your provider can advise how support hose for pregnant women fits into your care.

Styles & fit

Choose maternity pressure stockings as below-knee, thigh-high, or maternity pantyhose (waist-height support). Use our compression stockings size chart for an accurate fit; correct sizing = effective, comfortable compression.
