Wearing compression socks
✓ Generally considered safe
Compression socks help prevent blood clots (DVT), which pregnant women are at higher risk for during travel. They improve circulation and reduce leg swelling during flights and long car rides. Graduated compression socks of 15-20mmHg are recommended for travel.
