I dont have swelling but I do have restless legs,especially when Im lay down at night...I just cant get comfy. I suffered with this last time and by the time I was about 30 + weeks, I can remember doing OH `s head in in bed cause I couldnt get comfy! Its a mystery to me why this happens???

They are amazing, but I only tried the prescription compression stockings. I like the knee highs in a soft cotton. They can be pretty comfy.

Make sure you take proper care of them. The compression is guaranteed to last with proper care for 6 months. So no pulling, tugging, stretching them, and only hand wash in a proper cleanser meant for elastics.
So far the support stockings have been helping, but only about 50%. As I'm on xmas vacation tomorrow and only need them for work I'm going to wait till my next midwife appt to discuss compression stockings again. I'm hoping to only get the knee or thigh high instead of complete ones, I think I'll find that easier and more comfy.
