Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body — and with those changes, many women experience swelling in the legs and feet or worry about circulation issues. These symptoms are common but shouldn’t be ignored.
The good news? There are safe, natural ways to reduce swelling and help prevent blood clots, and two tools in The Mommy Care Kit are designed specifically for that purpose.
The great news? Many healthcare plans cover The Mommy Care Kit.
Why Swelling and Circulation Changes Happen
As your baby grows, your body produces more blood and fluid to support pregnancy. The increased volume, combined with pressure on your veins from the uterus, can slow circulation in your legs — leading to puffiness, heaviness, and sometimes painful swelling.
In late pregnancy, or after delivery, the risk of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) also increases. That’s why keeping your blood flowing is so important for comfort and safety.
Move, Elevate, and Hydrate
What you can do
- Take short walks throughout the day to keep your muscles active.
- Elevate your feet when resting to reduce ankle and calf swelling.
- Stay hydrated and limit excess sodium.
- Avoid standing or sitting in one position for long periods.
How the kit helps
The compression socks in The Mommy Care Kit gently squeeze your calves to support blood flow back toward your heart. They:
- Reduce swelling and heaviness in your legs and feet.
- Encourage healthy circulation to help prevent clot formation.
- Ease fatigue during long days or travel.
The socks are soft, breathable, and safe for everyday wear — a simple, effective way to feel relief fast.
Boost Circulation with Targeted Compression
Sometimes your body needs extra help to stimulate blood flow — especially after long periods of rest or postpartum recovery.
What you can do
- Alternate light activity with rest.
- Gently massage your legs and ankles.
- Use compression therapy devices that mimic the body’s natural muscle contractions.
How the kit helps
The PlasmaFlow intermittent compression device in The Mommy Care Kit uses a pump to sequentially inflate and deflate cuffs on the lower legs, mimicking muscle contractions. The device:
- Stimulates healthy blood flow in the legs.
- Aides in the prevention of blood clots (DVT), even when you’re sitting or resting.
- Reduces pain and swelling.
This portable, medical-grade device delivers gentle pulses to your calves — no cords, no medication, and no discomfort.
Combine Smart Support with Healthy Habits
Compression tools work best when paired with mindful habits.
- Sleep on your left side to ease vein pressure.
- Wear comfortable shoes with good arch support.
- Practice deep breathing and light stretching.
- Discuss any persistent swelling or pain with your provider.
How the kit helps
Together, the compression socks and PlasmaFlow device provide continuous, drug-free support that helps your circulatory system work more efficiently. Used daily, they help you stay active, comfortable, and confident through every stage of pregnancy.
