Postpartum Vein Health: Supporting New Moms Beyond Birth 💗

Postpartum care is about so much more than physical recovery — it’s about supporting a new mom’s entire well-being.
Between sleepless nights, feeding schedules, and learning life with a newborn, it’s easy for mothers (especially first-time moms) to put their own health on the back burner.

While postpartum challenges like fatigue, mood changes, or infections are commonly discussed, one topic often overlooked is postpartum vein health.
After childbirth, the risk of developing blood clots remains elevated for up to 12 weeks, making circulation support an essential part of recovery.

So, what can new moms do to support healthy veins and reduce the risk of clotting after birth?

🔹 Start slow with movement: Gentle activity promotes circulation. Begin with light walking and gradually increase movement as recovery progresses.
🔹 Sit smart: Elevate your legs when resting to help blood flow efficiently back to the heart — and avoid crossing your legs for long periods.
🔹 Wear compression stockings: Medical-grade compression supports circulation, reduces swelling, and helps ease leg discomfort or varicose veins.
🔹 Maintain healthy weight and hydration: Nourishing your body post-delivery helps relieve extra pressure on your veins.
🔹 Consider massage therapy: Gentle massage boosts circulation and promotes relaxation — both beneficial for vein health and stress relief.

What to watch for:
Some postpartum vein issues, such as varicose veins, can often be managed conservatively. However, two more serious conditions may develop:

Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT): A clot near the surface of the leg that may cause pain or redness. While usually not life-threatening, any pain should be checked by a healthcare provider.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A clot in the deeper veins of the leg, often accompanied by pain, swelling, or heaviness. DVT is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

Being proactive about postpartum vein health helps protect your overall recovery — allowing you to care for your baby while caring for yourself.

Remember: the stronger and healthier you feel, the better you can show up for your little one in the days, weeks, and years ahead. 💕

Your body changes over time – after surgery, with weight changes, or just because...life.
To make sure your breast form or partial form still fits just right, a yearly Fit Check can make a big difference – a professional review and adjustment of your fit.

Ask yourself:
✅ Do you feel any pressure points or irritations?
✅ Do you notice any limits when you move?
✅ Has your fit changed (meaning, does it fit differently than before)?

If you answered yes to any of these, it’s time for a Fit Check.
Certified fit specialists at your local store will take the time to guide and support you.

Many of us will soon have the chance to review or change insurance plans during open enrollment. Make confident choices for the year ahead by considering these factors:

1. Decide who you want your plan to cover
Consider the age, health care needs and typical appointments of anyone you want your plan to cover.

2. Check if your doctors and clinics are in each plan’s network
Use your plan’s clinic search tool or call Member Services. Getting care outside of your plan’s network will generally increase your costs.

3. Find your medicines in the drug list
Look at each plan’s drug list (often called a formulary) to see if your regular medicines will be covered.

4. Search for pharmacies near you
Save time and money by using in-network pharmacies.

5. See if you can save money
Explore advantages of available accounts for health-related expenses, such
as flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), health
reimbursement accounts (HRAs) and lifestyle spending accounts (LSAs).

6. Know what’s covered and what’s new
Ask your employer for your Open Enrollment materials or Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) to see all your plan details in one place. If you’re renewing an existing plan, make sure you know anything that’s changing about your benefits, drug list or network in the new year.

7. Compare coverage and weigh your costs
You’ll need to decide what combination of deductible, premium, and out-of-pocket maximum works best for your budget, then compare cost estimates based on your expected care needs.
