Our Tips for Heavy Legs
During pregnancy, walk every day to activate the calf muscles’ pumping action and promote venous return. If you’re sitting or standing for long periods, take a few steps, rotate your ankles, or stand on your tiptoes regularly. When resting, elevate your legs slightly and avoid crossing them. Also limit hot baths, saunas, and prolonged sun exposure, as heat dilates the veins. A cool shower directed from the ankles up toward the thighs can provide relief.
Stay hydrated and choose clothing that doesn’t constrict your waist or legs. Your doctor or midwife may recommend compression stockings. Do not use any circulatory supplements or essential oils without their advice. Sudden pain or swelling in one leg, redness, or shortness of breath require urgent medical attention.
