Varicose bloomin veins !

[ukemmalewis]

Have been having such a brilliant healthy happy pregnancy and now I am 31 weeks I have got varicose veins pop up on my right leg and also have bruising along my bikini line and along the pubic bone which is uncomfortable and apparantly is vulval variscosities (nice!) has any one else experienced bad veins and is there any relief at all during pregnancy?

:-)

I had a load of veins pop up on my legs which went down a bit after pregnancy but took about 6 months and they have never been the same... they look awful

Hello, yes I have a bad one and have to have it removed as its damaged and the blood doesnt pump around it properly. Am due second baby in July so will wait until after that!

How do you know the vein is damaged ?

Yep, am 33 weeks and got one on leg and a massive one (eugh) on naughty bits. Neither hurt though.

Other than that lovely pregnancy so far

They squeezed my leg and listened with an ultra sound machine to the blood moving (or not) around my leg!
