I've heard Compression socks are good for travel, but why?what do they help?lol

Question

Footless,tights,knee highs..which one??

Answer

Compression socks help to get rid of and prevent swelling in the legs as well as help maintain circulation and prevent blood clots. As baby starts to put pressure on the other abdominal structures fluid from your legs has a harder time fighting gravity and making its way back to the heart.  Flying and hot weather tend do promote swelling.  For pregnancy you'd likely do best with a low compression knee high since feet, ankles and lower calf tend to get most swollen. Higher compression is more often used to treat lymphedema or to prevent post surgical clots.
