Pregnancy:
the belly is quite heavy, not the legs!
An aspect of pregnancy that is often forgotten or little mentioned is the appearance of signs of venous insufficiency such as heavy legs, leg edema or varicose veins.
Which contraception is best for venous insufficiency?
The fact is that inappropriate contraception can aggravate venous disease in women. The key is to listen to your body, to determine whether your pill is making your legs heavier and then work with your doctor or gynaecologist to choose the contraceptive best suited to your situation.
It's very common to experience back pain during pregnancy. Like one in two pregnant women, your pregnancy may be accompanied by lower back and pelvic pain⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾.
