I'm 11 weeks. Always been fairly veiny on my legs and breasts. However they are now over the entire top half orb legs and backs of calfs.

Think they maybe look more like spider veins, I had bad varicose veins with my last and they were very large and stuck out my skin.

I had pretty bad thread veins last pregnancy. Think the (huge) varicose vein that I had running down my leg caused it. Fun times! The appearance of said varicose vein and the cluster of thread veins have massively improved since I had my daughter though.
