In reply to Holly Alexander. Holly thank you so much for reaching out about these sensitive topics. Congrats on your third pregnancy, that's so exciting! You are almost there mama, hang in there! After giving birth (I had these issues with baby #2 and #3) almost all of the spider veins disappeared, the varicose veins in my legs all flattened, the vulvar varicosities fully disappeared. All of which was so relieving for me. The veins in my thigh and calf you can see but the only time all the veins bulge and become painful after birth for me are when ovulating and my period. For after baby #2... still haven't gotten those back after baby #3. Hope this helps you girl and I hope your birth goes amazing! Feel free to stay in touch.

I’m so thankful to have found this! I’m pregnant with my third baby and am experiencing everything you described (including the vulvar varicosities). I’m 34 weeks now and able to manage relatively well knowing the end is in sight! My question for you is, after giving birth, did you have discoloration or any of the leftover bruised look on your vulva/ inner thigh? And if so, were you able to do anything about it? I have had schlerotherapy done on my leg but I’m not sure if there is anything to be done for the vulva/upper thigh area to get rid of the look of the varicose veins.

In reply to Levi Armstrong. I'm so glad your wife was able to find some relief swimming! Even on days when the water felt cold, I'd get in with my kids when they asked because it's immediate relief!

I like that you said one of the ways to alleviate the pain caused by varicose veins during pregnancy immediately is by going for a swim. My wife has developed some of these during her third pregnancy with our little boy, and she been complaining about how much they ache and how insecure she is about them. I’ll try to take her out on a swim every other day since we have a pool in our backyard. Once she gives birth, we’ll start to look for varicose vein treatment service in the city so she can get rid of them. Thanks!
