Breast Veins

Hi, I am 18, 16 weeks pregnant. Obviously I know my body will change but Is this normal? I never used to have any veins on my boobs, since being pregnant they are more visible and two of them are really big. Im not flat chested either.
Thanks

It’s normal, when you’re pregnant you have something like almost 50% more blood than usual! Just one of the crazy changes you’re going to experience over the next few months, congratulations and good luck!

Yep, normal. Same happened to me, and they're still there now I'm breastfeeding my 13-w-old. I assume they'll go down when I stop breastfeeding, but who knows!

100% normal - they will likely stay as long as you’re breastfeeding but they will go away eventually.

I think they’re pretty amazing too! All that blood travelling to where it’s needed. So many ways in which the body changes, most of which disappear when we no longer have need for them.

Thanks for the responses, I will leave them and hopefully in years to come they will go away
