Does Varicose Veins affect natural birth of the baby?

You can undoubtedly have a natural birth if you have varicose veins in the leg. There are a very small number of ladies who have internal varicose veins and varicose veins around the opening of the vagina and if that is the case and these are very large varicose veins, they should be discussed with the healthcare professional, i.e. the vascular surgeon and your obstetrician to discuss whether there is a risk of bleeding at the time of delivery. And if this is the case, then that may be a potential indication to be offered an elective caesarean section. However, this should be a discussion that occurs between the mother and the healthcare professionals involved. you
