It is common during pregnancy to experience leg health symptoms such as heavy, tired aching legs and swollen ankles. These can be alleviated by taking steps to maintain leg health throughout your maternity months:

• Keeping active – avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. If you can, try to squeeze in some light to moderate exercise, such as walking, swimming, or simple leg exercises

• Good skin care - Aside from the obvious bodily changes, pregnancy can also cause some noticeable changes to your skin. Therefore keeping your skin moisturised is important.

• Wearing compression - to help promote blood circulation and healthy legs

Wearing compression socks can help to push blood flow back up towards your heart, alleviating feelings of heavy and tired legs.
