Varicose veins develop or are aggravated in pregnancy because the growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvic veins,

Varicose veins often improve within three to four months after giving birth, though sometimes it takes even longer, and sometimes they don't improve much at all after you've given birth. (This is more likely if you've had multiple pregnancies.)
During this time, it's a good idea to continue to wear support hose, exercise regularly, avoid prolonged sitting or standing, and elevate your legs whenever possible.

Check out compression tights that are pregnancy specific designed.
