Hi,
Has anyone else had to get support tights/stockings or planning to? Varicose veins seem to run in my family and my sister got a bad one during her pregnancy so I asked the doctor for support stockings to preven me getting them. He prescribed them but the pharmacy told me I'd need to wear a suspender belt with them (???? NO WAY!!) and that I'd be better with maternity support tights, which had to be ordered from the hospital.
They didn't seem too sure how I'd get these, has anyone else had to get these or bought them? I wouldn't mind paying for them as it seems a hell of a lot easier than the NHS!! Thanks, Libby
