What to expect when expecting a baby

During pregnancy, your body goes through hormonal changes that have a number of effects such as blood pressure and volume increase, your blood vessels become more permeable, and the major draining veins become more constricted.

Although increases in blood pressure and volume help to nurture your growing baby, they can also result in symptoms such as aching legs, swollen ankles, and increase your risk for varicose veins.

All of this is entirely normal, but it can also be painful and might affect your daily routine when, for example, shoes no longer fit properly.  At this time, your legs deserve extra attention and care: this is where JOBST Maternity compression stockings come in, leaving you feeling lighter during pregnancy.

Compression stockings in pregnancy: good for your legs and your baby

Compression garments can help to improve your well-being during your pregnancy so that you can get on and enjoy the important things in life.

Wearing medical compression stockings during pregnancy helps to reduce swelling (edema) and leg pain by increasing the pressure in the tissue under the skin.  This provides support to your veins and helps prevent them from becoming swollen with blood.  Plus, it can also help relieve vertigo and nausea. 

The JOBST maternity compression stockings range

JOBST Maternity products are specially designed to make your legs feel lighter, provide relief for your belly and back, and improve your quality of life during pregnancy.

The special blend of yarns and ventilation zone make the maternity compression stockings soft to touch, while simultaneously providing excellent ventilation and moisture management. Furthermore, the SoftFlex Zone belly insert featured in JOBST Maternity Opaque Panty provides compression that adapts to your growing belly, without compromising on comfort.

Plus, there's no need to worry about compression stockings being unattractive or unfashionable: all JOBST compression stockings come in different color variations from skin tones and elegant black, to chic trendy colors.  JOBST Maternity compression stockings are visually indistinguishable from normal stockings and tights, so you can feel confident and comfortable at all times. 

Pregnancy - a special journey

Mothers-to-be experience a time full of great excitement and pleasant anticipation.  Concurrently this time comes with some physiological changes eg. increased heart rate and cardiac output, changes in the venous and arterial system and a 20% higher blood volume.  They are entirely normal but might have an impact on the well-being.

What pregnant women want: 

• Feeling comfortable in their own body
• Still being able to live their normal life without limitations
• To counteract permanent vein sufferings after delivering
• To reduce pain or discomfort, especially in the legs
• Relief for a stressed body, including belly and back

Lighter legs 

More than 50% of all pregnant women develop edema during their pregnancy.  But Jobst can help!  Studies have shown that pregnant women who wear compression stockings experience significantly less edema than without compression garments. 

Improved quality of life 

Pregnant women stated that they experienced less nausea and vertigo but a higher comfort and well-being in general when wearing compression stockings. 

Relief for belly and back 

Between 45% and 75% of pregnant women are affected with lower back pain at some stage of pregnancy.  Because of that, Jobst offers a product line that follows the holistic approach.  Jobst Maternity assists the pregnant women for a lighter feeling - in their legs, but also in the belly and back.
