Preggers Review and Giveaway

I'm heading into my 32nd week of pregnancy already. It's pretty crazy if you ask me, especially since it seems like we JUST found out about this little miss!  With pregnancy comes joy and happiness, but we can't forget the swelling, back pain and fatigue!  Since I sit for 8+ hours a day at the computer, it's especially the swelling that gets to me.  I have to keep at least one foot on the pedal all the time and I seem to get a zone where I forget that I'm pregnant and at the end of my shift I remember quickly that my feet and ankles tend to swell when I don't get up and move enough. ;)  When I was pregnant with Tiny Man, the doctor wanted to prescribe me some compression stockings, but I balked at that idea!  All I could picture in my head was a little old lady walking around the grocery store wearing those hideous things!  (Nothing against old ladies, the grocery store, or the necessity of the stockings, but they're just plain ugly.)

When I got the chance to review Preggers by THERAFIRM, I jumped at the chance!  I realize that the compression really does help with swelling, and the fact that these were pretty darn cute and not truly frightening like the stockings of yesterday, I decided it was well worth it!   

I tried a pair of black maternity trouser socks, and what do you know!  They work!  I put them on at the start of my shift and found them to actually be comfortable (I wasn't sure what to expect) and forgot that I was wearing them.  When I took them off to go to bed, my legs weren't throbbing and sore, they felt normal!  I wore them again on a shopping expedition and didn't have nearly the pain or leg fatigue that I normally would.  I REALLY wish I'd found these last year, but I'm grateful to have had the chance to try them this time around.  They have several other style (and color!) options available, if trouser socks aren't your thing.
