Compression Tights: Love'em or Leave'em

Okay, so that is not my leg but that may be where I am heading. Pregnancy, 2 out of 3 times with me, leads to nasty bulging and painful veins. So the first time I did nothing and right after delivery they were gone. This time, they came on so soon and so aggressively that I invested in compression tights (ie ugly expensive old lady pantyhose that are supposed to help) and never wore them. Until today. Just like all pantyhose, heels, etc I am miserable. Uncomfortable as hell. Maybe this is because, as my daughter says "you have no fashion"/"your fashion is disgusting." Really I think that people, women, were not meant to squeeze their bodies into uncomfortable contraptions. So, I have these beauties on today but I am not sure that I can wear them again. I may just have to add ugly veins to my list of war wounds (scars from various surgeries, clumsy incidents, stretch marks).

  1. war wounds are cooler than no wounds at all.
    plus you're beautiful, which means that people don't have to look down at the veins in your legs. :)
