compression stockings?

[citymama]

My MW recommended compression stockings for my rapidly worsening varicose veins. If anyone has any online sites for purchasing and recommendations for brands/type, please share! Thank you so much.

My doc made me wear them when I was 32 weeks pg with DD and was moving around the world on airplanes. She was really worried about blood clots with flying that long and being so pg. I bought the brand Jobst ultrasheer 15-20 mmHg. That was 5 years ago, but I did buy them online I just can't remember where. I will keep looking, but if you just type in Jobst stockings in google search you will get a lot of hits.

Just searched and I have a strong feeling here is where I ordered mine: http://www.elitemedical.com/matsupstoc.html

I got mine on ebay last pregnancy, I had to fly at 8.5 mos overseas.. not to mention I already had awful swelling. Get the heavyduty ones, they take forever to get on, especially when you're very pregnant.. and you sweat and grunt and swear but they're really worth it.
