As most of my readers know, my pregnant feet are swollen with third-trimester edema. This does not cause me great discomfort, however I came across a pair of compression stockings the other day-- the knee-high kind-- that I bought for a plane trip during my last pregnancy, and I've been considering putting them on, despite the July heat and my lack of air-conditioning.
I don't get to put my feet up that often. At least not as often as it seems I should. So while I'm sitting and typing at my desk, I might as well put these things on and gain the advantage of a little better circulation.
The problem with wearing these, besides the heat, is that I have to plan a whole outfit around them. Since they are only knee high, and I am tall (rendering the stockings not-quite-knee-high), I have to wear a skirt that is long enough to cover the tops of them even when I sit. Then there is the shoe issue. While stockings usually solve the shoe issue in the winter, in the summer they present he problem of not being able to wear them with my thong sandals. Actually, my husband's thong sandals which are the only ones that fit me right now.
I don't think I'll be wearing compression stockings anytime soon. This post has helped me make up my mind.
