I worked with Amish women having their 10th, 11th, 12th
babies, etc. who had huge varicosities, some the size of a
small garden hose, and not one caused any problems. This is
not to say that it couldn't happen, but none in my
experience did. I gave them white oak bark, cayenne
capsules, and if I remember right, butchers broom. I also
had them eat the white part of oranges. Susun Weed's
pregnancy book has some good suggestions for this problem.
