Compression socks for pregnancy
Swollen ankles, tired legs, and achy feet are common during pregnancy — extra fluid and pressure from a growing baby can slow circulation in your lower legs, especially in the second and third trimesters.
Graduated compression can help by supporting circulation and easing that end-of-day heaviness. Our 15–20 mmHg Everyday level is the one most commonly reached for during pregnancy — it's a gentle, comfortable pressure suited for daily wear.
A few tips:
- Put them on first thing in the morning, before swelling sets in.
- As your body changes, re-measure your calf — you may need to size up as pregnancy progresses.
- If you're managing a diagnosed condition like preeclampsia or a clotting disorder, your doctor may recommend a specific compression level — always follow their guidance over general advice.
