Why do I need compression stockings for childbirth and how to choose them? How to choose elastic compression stockings for childbirth Compression stockings for childbirth

Pregnancy is a time of joyful anticipation. So that it is not overshadowed by health problems, it is important to prevent unwanted symptoms with preventive measures. Among other things, you should pay attention to the stockings for childbirth. They protect against the development of varicose veins. You no longer need to bandage your legs, because modern products give a greater effect and at the same time are convenient to use.

Should be shared:

stockings for pregnant women from varicose veins;
for childbirth.

The former are used in the prenatal period, the latter - during and after delivery. Both types of stockings protect against varicose veins, both for those women who have already developed this disease, and for those who have its first signs. Stockings for pregnant women reduce the load on the lower limbs. This is especially noticeable when walking. They protect the veins from damage during the active phase of childbirth.

How do birth control stockings work? They create a special pressure on the legs. This allows you to protect the veins from stretching, normalize blood flow, prevent the formation of knots and blood clots.

Stockings data:

comfortable;
durable;
aesthetic;
inexpensive.

Products keep well on their feet, do not fall off. They are easy to put on and fix. This favorably distinguishes the device from an elastic bandage, the use of which requires effort.

Stockings for childbirth have a significant service life. Their quality allows you to use them for several pregnancies.

Compression stockings for childbirth beautifully fit the legs. A pregnant woman and a woman who has already given birth will not have to complex by putting them on.

The cost of products is higher than elastic bandages, but their purchase is still profitable. After all, you buy them once, and the materials for bandaging will have to be updated all the time. Thus, the use of the former is inexpensive.

Where to buy quality products?

If you understand the importance of preventing the manifestations of varicose veins and decide to buy stockings for childbirth, then you should make a purchase from a reliable honest supplier. The company "It's time to maternity hospital" sells products of proven quality at an affordable price. To order goods, call the specified numbers or use the functions of the site. Delivery of products for childbirth is carried out throughout Russia, including Moscow.

Giving birth in stockings is becoming more and more popular. And we are not talking about seductive fishnet underwear - neither the doctor, nor the child, nor even you will be up to aesthetics during childbirth. Women are increasingly wearing medical compression stockings for childbirth, which, however, can compete with dignity in appearance.

You may hear or read that all doctors recommend that pregnant women wear compression stockings for childbirth or bandage their legs with elastic bandages without fail. In fact, moms-to-be learn about such devices and their benefits mostly from their girlfriends.

Compression underwear is designed to protect the legs from excessive loads, as well as to prevent and treat diseases and complications associated with the state of veins and blood vessels. The most common indication for wearing such underwear is varicose veins and thrombophlebitis. Compression socks, stockings and tights are recommended to prevent the appearance of spider veins, asterisks, edema, fatigue and tension in the legs, as well as in the pre- and postoperative period. Depending on the indications and the expected effect (therapeutic or prophylactic), the specialist prescribes one of four degrees of compression. During pregnancy and childbirth, prophylactic compression stockings are usually used, but if the expectant mother has problems with veins, then the phlebologist should prescribe her compression underwear on an individual basis. A consultant in a pharmacy or a specialized store will help you choose the right size.

During pregnancy, compression stockings will serve you well: such stockings will not only facilitate bearing, but will also help to avoid many possible problems. But even if during the entire period you did without stockings, it makes sense to buy them specifically for childbirth.

Compression stockings in a special way create and distribute pressure on the vessels of the legs, weakening towards the upper part. That is, in the calf zone it is maximum, and to the hips it is gradually reduced to a minimum. This contributes to better blood flow and prevents stagnation of blood in the vessels, stretching of their walls and them, which is an excellent prevention of the appearance of a venous network, tubercles and in the postpartum period.

Compression stockings for childbirth will serve you well after the birth of the child, especially since they look great and are worn. During pregnancy, it is better to choose stockings made of natural cotton thread. All of them are made without seams, with special weaving, so that they don’t squeeze anywhere, don’t cause discomfort and pass air well. However, stockings marked RAL are of high quality (these meet the world standard) - pay attention to this.

Putting on compression stockings for childbirth is not easy, so it’s better to “get dressed” at home, before leaving for the hospital - then it may not be up to it. It's good to have someone close to you help you. If there is no one, then do not despair: midwives help everyone.

Of course, compression stockings will not give you a 100% guarantee that after childbirth you will not experience varicose veins or other complications with the veins and legs, but they will greatly increase your chances of a positive outcome. However, not everyone sees them as useful. Some believe that if there is a predisposition, then no stockings will help, and vice versa. However, over time, compression underwear is increasingly used not only during pregnancy, but also during childbirth, as well as after the birth of a child.

Especially for- Elena Kichak

More and more women are choosing to wear stockings when going to the hospital. And we are not talking about seductive underwear - no, these stockings are designed to prevent problems with the veins of the legs. We are talking about special compression stockings.

Compression stockings during childbirth

Compression underwear is a special medical underwear that puts pressure on the human body in order to prevent swelling and improve blood circulation in the veins. It is made from natural and synthetic fibers - cotton, capron, elastoden. Such underwear is thicker and stronger than conventional nylon products, it is used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Compression stockings and tights are designed in such a way that the pressure decreases from the bottom up, that is, the blood moves more freely and more easily from the foot towards the heart. Compression knitwear can be used both for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.

During childbirth, the blood vessels of the female body experience severe overload. This tension is especially dangerous for the vessels of the legs, and blood clots can form in the deep veins of the lower extremities. The presence of such blood clots provokes the occurrence of thrombosis or thrombophlebitis, dangerous diseases with negative consequences up to death. Compression stockings are designed to reduce these risks:

pressure equally distributed over the entire surface of the legs helps to establish a uniform blood flow; constant pressure has a positive effect on the state of blood vessels;
pressure in the vessels increases, which reduces the chance of blood stasis;
compression underwear protects the vessels from possible overloads during childbirth.

The appearance of the vascular network on the legs is one of the symptoms of problems with veins and blood vessels.

Instead of special stockings, elastic bandages are sometimes used, which are wrapped around the legs from the foot to the groin - they perform a similar role. An elastic bandage is cheaper than linen, but during childbirth it can unwind, in addition, it is difficult to choose the right degree of pressure on the legs, so if there is evidence, it is better to purchase stockings.

Even small fluctuations in pressure in the vessels can cause them to weaken and show the vascular network on the legs, which not only does not look very beautiful, but also indicates the initial degree of varicose veins in the legs. To avoid this, you should not neglect the doctor's recommendations if he advises the use of compression underwear, and if he does not raise this topic, then ask yourself about measures to prevent problems with leg veins.

Does everyone need to use them?

Many women are sure that compression underwear during pregnancy and during childbirth is required only for those expectant mothers who have already been diagnosed with vein problems. In fact, phlebologists - doctors involved in venous pathologies - recommend using them, including as a preventive measure, in order to avoid varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, thrombosis and other vein pathologies. This is especially important if a pregnant woman has the following symptoms:

spider veins or meshes on the legs;
swelling of the lower extremities;
feeling tired or;
cramps in the calf muscles;
phlebeurysm;
chronic venous insufficiency;
thrombosis;
venous eczema and/or dermatitis.

Is it possible to wear those stockings that were worn during pregnancy

Compression underwear is divided into 4 classes depending on the pressure exerted. A specialist should choose the right class of underwear for a pregnant woman, depending on the severity of her problems with the veins. If at the time of childbirth the state of the vascular system of a woman allows the use of the same stockings that she wore during pregnancy, then they are quite allowed to be worn. But it is worth remembering that one of the main conditions for clothing used during childbirth is sterility, so the stockings must be thoroughly washed before going to the maternity hospital.

Compression knitwear should be washed carefully and carefully, using gentle washing powders and be sure to thoroughly rinse the linen in clean water. It is not recommended to twist or wring out the laundry, as this can spoil the fine structure of the fibers, it is better to dry them in a straightened form on a horizontal surface.

Are stockings necessary for a caesarean section?

If the need for stockings during natural childbirth is quite transparent, then the question of the need for underwear during a cesarean section confuses many. The reason why compression stockings are also important with this method of delivery is that a caesarean section is an abdominal operation, and during it the vessels experience additional stress. When performing such an operation, the veins expand, and the woman is in a horizontal motionless state for a long time, which can provoke the onset of thromboembolism. In addition, a pregnant woman is given anesthesia, the components of which can adversely affect the entire cardiovascular system of her body.

Types, classes and sizes of compression underwear

Compression knitwear for the lower extremities is of 3 types:

knee socks - reach only the middle of the thigh, are used only during pregnancy and only in cases where problems with veins and blood vessels do not affect the upper part of the legs; when wearing them, the pressure on the hip area increases;
tights - undesirable for use during long periods of pregnancy, as they put pressure on the abdomen; in addition, for obvious reasons, they cannot be used in childbirth;
stockings are the best option for compression underwear, they evenly distribute the load from the feet to the groin, protecting the vessels along the entire length of the legs.

Photo gallery: types of compression underwear for legs

Golfs are allowed to be worn only if there are no problems with the veins in the thigh area. Tights are not recommended for wearing for a long time, as they put pressure on the stomach
Stockings are considered the best option, as they evenly distribute pressure along the entire length of the legs.

Medical underwear is divided into 4 compression classes, depending on how much pressure it exerts on the legs:

1st class - compression does not exceed 23 millimeters of mercury; recommended in the early stages of venous disease, characterized by a tendency to edema, spider veins, leg fatigue; can be used as a prophylactic against varicose veins during pregnancy;
Grade 2 - pressure is in the range of 24-33 mm; used in the initial stage of varicose veins in pregnant women, for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis of the legs, with acute thrombophlebitis;
Grade 3 - compression does not exceed 45 mm Hg; it is used for moderate and severe degrees of damage to blood vessels and veins, for varicose veins complicated by trophic disorders, for deep vein thrombosis and lymphovenous insufficiency;
class 4 - pressure above 50 mm; It is recommended to wear with congenital anomalies of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, with severe violations of the lymph flow.

Special stockings for childbirth are allocated in a separate class. The compression in them is distributed evenly along the entire length of the product. Their other distinguishing feature is an open toe, which allows the obstetrician to determine the correctness of blood circulation during childbirth by the type of fingers. It is advisable to wear them for childbirth, but if it is not possible to purchase stockings of this class, then medical stockings can be used, after consulting with a phlebologist.

To determine the right size of compression underwear, you need to take a number of measurements, since an accurately selected size is important for the correct distribution of pressure - stockings that are too small will overtighten the leg, and large ones will not create the necessary compression. The following measurements must be taken:

girth of the lower leg in the narrowest place, near the ankle;
calf girth at the widest point of the calf;
thigh girth at a height of 25–30 cm above the knee;
for golf - leg length from heel to knee;
for stockings - leg length from heel to groin;
for tights - the circumference of the waist and hips.

Video: how to take measurements for compression stockings

Compression garments must be carefully sized, so all measurements must be taken carefully and with the correct body position.

Each type of compression underwear has its own size chart. Here is a table of sizes for stockings - the most common medical knitwear that is used during childbirth.

Terms of use and care

Compression knitwear requires careful and careful care, as careless handling can damage its structure, stretch elastic fibers and destroy its healing properties.

Since medical underwear must be worn every day, it quickly gets dirty and needs to be washed daily. It is important to follow the washing rules so as not to spoil it:

do not use too high water temperature;
it is necessary to protect the linen from strong deformations - friction and spin;
Before washing, remove any jewelry from your hands, as they can damage the fabric.

You should choose special products for delicate washing:

liquid soap;
powder or gel for baby clothes;
powder or gel for delicate fabrics, chlorine-free.

It is undesirable to use:

washing powder - undissolved grains of powder can get between the threads of knitwear and disrupt its structure;
laundry soap - fatty acids in its composition aggressively affect knitwear.

Photo gallery: detergents for washing compression underwear

Detergents for washing delicate fabrics do not contain chlorine and aggressive substances
Detergents for washing baby clothes act carefully, but gently
A special detergent for washing compression underwear is designed taking into account all its features.

dilute detergent in warm water;
soak clothes for 10-15 minutes;
gently wash it without applying too much pressure and/or friction;
rinse in clean water 2-3 times;
do not use bleach, rinses, fabric softeners and other additives.

When machine washing, if it is allowed for a particular piece of laundry, you should set the “hand wash” or “delicate wash” mode. In this mode, the water does not heat up above the allowed temperature. Spinning in this case must be turned off, since when spinning, even at low speeds, the structure of medical knitwear is disturbed. It is also not recommended to wash compression garments together with other clothing.

Dry stockings in a well-ventilated area, away from heaters and direct sunlight. For drying, they need to be laid out on a horizontal surface on a fabric that absorbs moisture well. Hanging clothes to dry is prohibited.
When washing therapeutic knitwear, the chemical and physical impact on it should be minimal.

Good compression stockings are not cheap, so women are often worried about whether they can be bought from their hands or taken from friends. It is important to remember that the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of underwear depends on its condition, precisely selected size and compression class. If the last two points are quite easy to follow, because they are indicated on the packaging, then making sure that the knitwear was looked after in compliance with all the rules is already more difficult. Compression stockings are a rather capricious thing and easily become unusable, which is difficult to judge by their appearance. Therefore, it is worth buying or taking used stockings by someone only if you are firmly convinced that they have been carefully looked after. The period of wearing knitwear by the previous owner also matters, because the stockings of some companies lose their compression properties after a few months of use.

When can I take pictures after giving birth?

The length of time you need to wear compression stockings after childbirth depends on two factors:

method of delivery;
condition of the veins of a woman before and after childbirth.

If the child was born in a natural way, and if the young mother does not have varicose veins, increased blood clotting and cardiovascular problems, then it is enough to wear stockings for 3-7 days.

After a caesarean section, this period increases and is 2-3 weeks, while the first day they are worn without removing them. This is because even after the end of the operation, the components of anesthesia remain in the blood of the woman in labor, which have a vasodilating effect.

If a woman has been diagnosed with problems with veins, then the time of wearing stockings after childbirth increases. The exact period during which it is desirable to wear stockings during the day (since it is advisable to take them off at night) should be told by a phlebologist observing the patient.

Comparative characteristics of compression stockings after childbirth from different companies

In the compression underwear market, you can find products for almost every taste, color and wallet thickness.

During pregnancy, a woman gains weight, the uterus grows and presses on the lower veins. Because of this, many pregnant women know firsthand what hemorrhoids and varicose veins are. Therefore, women during the bearing of a child are recommended special stockings, which are called compression stockings. They rationally and evenly distribute the load.

But even if the expectant mother has not resorted to wearing such medical underwear for nine months of bearing a baby, she will be recommended to buy it before childbirth, both before physiological and before a planned caesarean section. In this material, we will tell you for what purposes medical stockings are used in childbirth, how to choose such products, and how to use them.

What it is?

Compression is compression. Compression underwear is called clothing that tightly fits, compresses and supports certain parts of the body. First of all, it is necessary for those who have problems with blood circulation. Such underwear is used by people who, due to professional duties, are forced to stay upright for a long time, as well as professional athletes who experience serious physical exertion.

A pregnant and giving birth woman can be compared with an Olympic athlete, because the loads that her body undergoes sometimes exceed those of sports. Special therapeutic underwear for the legs (stockings) has a compressive effect, the diameter of the veins decreases, the blood begins to circulate faster through the veins of the lower extremities. Compression is distributed unevenly - at the ankles it is always higher than in the thigh area. Since the veins closest to the surface are compressed, the blood flow is rationally distributed into smaller blood channels, and they are also involved.

As a result, more blood rushes to the heart, the pressure rises slightly, blood stasis in the lower extremities, which cause so much trouble for pregnant women and women in labor, is eliminated. The venous network returns to normal, the feeling of heaviness in the legs decreases.

Such stockings have another name - anti-embolic or hospital. They come in different types, sizes, different degrees of compression. In each specific situation, stockings of a certain category may be required.

Why are they needed?

The general purpose of medical compression stockings can be very diverse. But a woman may have questions about the use of such underwear in childbirth. This underwear is not considered mandatory, but is strongly recommended in the following cases:

if during pregnancy legs often swelled;
if there is a clear vascular network, asterisks, or varicose veins have developed;
weight gain during the gestation period exceeded the allowable norms;
if the patient suffers from calf cramps (bringing her legs together);
if there is a tendency to thrombosis.

During physiological natural childbirth, all the vessels of the female body experience literally cosmic loads. Medical medical underwear will help to equalize blood flow, stabilize blood pressure, and maintain the integrity of blood vessels. Under the influence of intra-abdominal pressure, the development of varicose veins of the lower extremities is not excluded, and this disease quite often develops after childbirth.

If during physiological childbirth, stockings are recommended according to indications, then before a cesarean section, the Ministry of Health strongly recommends that all pregnant women purchase such a product. During and after the operation, the woman is in a horizontal position for a long time, and the intra-abdominal pressure is just as high. Therefore, there is a fairly real and tangible risk of postoperative thromboembolism - a dangerous complication in which a blood clot breaks off and blocks the lumen of the vessel.

An alternative in this case is an elastic bandage, with which the limbs of the woman in labor are pulled before the start of the operation, and which remains on the legs for several days after the operation. But with a bandage, it is quite difficult to manually control the degree of compression of blood vessels. They try to bandage so that the greatest pressure is in the ankle area, and gradually decreases from the lower leg to the knee and from the knee to the thigh. Another disadvantage is the possibility that the bandage will unfold. The stockings are made with proper pressure distribution and cannot come off or come loose. Therefore, they have a number of significant advantages over bandaging.

Types and degree of compression

Therapeutic underwear for the legs is available in three varieties: golfs, tights and stockings. It is allowed to wear relatively short stockings during pregnancy, and only when the expectant mother does not have any special problems with the state of the veins. They are good for eliminating the feeling of fatigue in the legs, because it is very difficult to wear a big tummy in late gestation.

Tights for women in position are not suitable, as they demonstrate a squeezing compression effect on the abdomen. Compression stockings are also not used during childbirth or during surgical delivery. The only convenient and optimal option for protecting the legs and blood vessels is stockings. They evenly distribute the load on the vessels along the entire length of the legs - from the ankles to the inguinal region.

Linen also differs in the degree of compression. This is a very important indicator that must be taken into account when choosing medical devices. There are four levels of compression.

Products of the 1st class- the level of compression is at a level not higher than 23 millimeters of mercury. Such elastic products are great for use while carrying a baby, if there are no particular vascular problems or they are minor and are limited to spider veins and a feeling of heaviness in the limbs. They are suitable for childbirth, but only on the condition that the woman has no problems with blood vessels, and she takes the product to the hospital exclusively for prevention.
Products of the 2nd class- the level of compression is estimated at 23-33 millimeters of mercury. Such stockings are usually used by women who have varicose veins in the very early stages of development. It is these products that are best chosen for an elective caesarean section, as they are an excellent way to avoid deep vein thrombosis.
Products of the 3rd class- the level of compression reaches 45 millimeters of mercury. They find their application in moderate and severe varicose veins, with deep thrombosis, with changes in trophic properties.
Products of the 4th class- the pressure level is above 50 millimeters of mercury. Stockings are used for severe thrombosis, gross congenital anomalies of the vessels of the extremities, for serious pathologies of the lymph outflow process. Like third-class stockings, they are used in the birth process only if the woman in labor has the listed problems. For preventive purposes, in the absence of problems with veins and vessels, they are usually not used.

There is another type of stocking - generic, created directly for women in labor, in which the pressure is distributed evenly over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe product. In addition, they do not have a sock, and the obstetrician in childbirth can determine by the color of the toes whether everything is in order with the blood supply to the lower extremities.

If there are no special indications for wearing medical knitwear, then you can limit yourself to just such stockings. In their absence, it is quite possible to use stockings of any compression that were listed above, more often 1-2.

How to choose the right size?

If the compression is chosen correctly, and the woman miscalculated with the size, then it will be problematic to achieve the desired effect from wearing medical medical underwear: large stockings will not create the desired compression effect, and small stockings will excessively tighten the legs and disrupt blood circulation.

Therefore, before buying, you need to take measurements from your feet. To do this, take a soft centimeter tape and fix the following dimensions:

minimum circumference of the lower leg near the ankle;
maximum girth of the lower leg at its widest point;
step back from the knee up 25-27 centimeters, and measure the girth of the thigh;
Measure the length of your legs from heels to groin.

These parameters are enough to select the product of the desired size. Anti-embolic stockings have a specific size chart, which must be checked after taking the above measurements.

How to wear after childbirth?

At what time it is possible to remove anti-embolic stockings after the birth is left behind is an ambiguous question. Much depends on how healthy the blood vessels and veins of the woman in labor were before childbirth, as well as on how and how the birth itself took place.

If a caesarean section was performed and the woman is healthy, then it should be borne in mind that some drugs used by anesthesiologists for pain relief have the property of dilating blood vessels. Therefore, in the early days, therapeutic knitwear is constantly worn, they sleep and walk in it. After a week, a woman can begin to take off her stockings, but only at night. The total time it is recommended to wear compression stockings is about two weeks.

After physiological childbirth, in the absence of problems with blood vessels, in particular, and blood circulation in general, it is allowed to remove stockings after 4-6 days.

But these terms apply only to healthy women who put on medical underwear solely to prevent unwanted complications.

If a newly-made mother previously had problems with veins and blood vessels, then the terms for wearing underwear are individually set by the attending physician or phlebologist.

Top manufacturers: overview and cost

Today, numerous manufacturers offer women a variety of models of therapeutic underwear. It should be noted that not everything that is called compression is actually such. There are a lot of fakes in this segment of goods. Therefore, when choosing, it is better to give preference to trusted companies that produce anti-varicose stockings. Here are just some of the names that doctors and patients say can be trusted.

Relaxsan

A company from Italy that manufactures its products using the double-braided net weave method. There are three compression classes in the line. This brand of products is well known to Russian women; the manufacturer has been present on the medical knitwear market for a long time. The prices are very moderate and attractive - you can buy stockings for childbirth for only 1400-1600 rubles. But, according to reviews, stockings do not differ in wear resistance and durability, they are not worn for more than two months.

For childbirth, the option is excellent, but during pregnancy it is better to choose a product that is more wear-resistant so as not to overpay.

VENOTEKS

These products are made in the USA. The uniqueness lies in the fact that this is perhaps one of the few manufacturers that takes into account the physique of women with wide hips. In the line of models there are stockings especially for ladies with a wide hip. Materials are used only natural and hypoallergenic, there are quite a lot of models. Prices start from 1700 to 4500 rubles per pair. According to reviews, the stockings are worn quite well for a long time, do not stretch, silicone rubber bands do not weaken.

Mediven medi

These products are manufactured in Germany. These are very strong and reliable stockings with anti-varicose action. They have practically no drawbacks, except that the price is rather big. Such products cost between 3000-6500 rubles. But it will be possible to wear them not only during pregnancy and childbirth, but also later, as needed, because there can be a lot of situations in which the vessels of the legs suffer in life. After prolonged use, the stockings do not lose their shape or appearance.

SIGVARIS

Swiss quality and Swiss precision - these two concepts can quite capaciously characterize such medical devices. Different colors, different fabric base for silicone rubber: satin, cotton. There are also rubber models that are needed for a woman with serious vascular problems. The cost is high, the initial price for low compression stockings is from 2500 rubles, the most expensive high compression stockings cost about 10 thousand rubles.

Ergoforma

This Italian manufacturer has a long history and a worldwide reputation; the company has been operating in the anti-varicose underwear market since 1936. These stockings among women are very popular, since their cost starts from only 850 rubles. Special wear resistance, however, stockings do not differ. But you can take them to the hospital.

Whatever brand of products you choose, remember about compression and size range. Some items have their own sizing chart. Therefore, be sure to check it out on the manufacturer's website.
