Features
SRC Pregnancy Leggings OTB provide stability to the muscles of the back and pelvis. They provide gentle support and compression to your back and pelvis. The targeted compression in the garment improves pelvic and core stability. Additionally, graduated compression may prevent the development or worsening of varicose veins by preventing the blood pooling and therefore the symptoms of varicose veins and swollen legs.

Why do SRC Maternity Tights/Leggings Work so Well?
The gentle compression promotes supporting pressure to the pelvis and stimulates the underlying muscles to remain active to assist in making the pelvic joints more stable. The reinforced gusset design (patent pending) allows maximum support to the perineum reducing symptoms of vulval varicosities and incontinence. The graduated compression in the leggings places pressure on the veins to reduce blood pooling and therefore the aching symptoms of varicose veins and swollen leg. Please note that the pregnancy leggings are suitable for mild varicose veins of the leg (see notes above).

Size
Measure in your underwear only. Stand with your heels together and keep the measuring tape straight. Place the tape over your hips, pubic bone and bottom at the fullest part. The tape should touch your body at all points but not be pulled tight.
We advise you measure and order your SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings during the 12-15 week of pregnancy or when you begin to feel discomfort and pain or as advised by your healthcare practitioner.
Please note: SRC Pregnancy leggings have a gentle level of graduated compression in the legs. These are suitable for women with mild varicose veins or swelling. This product will not provide enough compression to moderate or severe varicose veins of the legs. Women often complain that wearing a grade 2 or 3 compression stocking for long periods can be difficult due to they becoming hot and tight. The SRC legging was designed with a specific level of compression so that women can wear their compression stockings under the SRC legging for a number of hours during the day. Once the compression stockings have been removed the SRC legging will continue to provide mild graduated compression so the benefit of having worn the stockings is not lost.
