Painful varicose veins

[willisurvive3under2]

Anyone else had these?

I'm expecting twins, so presumably more pressure than normal. But I'm only 26 weeks and I have only put on 6 lbs (was very sick until recently), meaning I'm not carrying that much extra weight yet. However on one side of my groin (kind of along my bikini line and top of my thigh) I have ugly, blue, puffy veins.

Is this normal? It hurts but I also have SPD so I thought it was ligament/joint pain. Now I'm thinking it's also swollen and puffy. Is this a job for the GP?

28 weeks here and I have them on the groin and behind my knee in one leg. It does get sore and I had a hospital referral but was told the only thing to do was wear compression stockings. Mum had them too so i guess it’s hereditary in my case

@carpetbrush My mum had them too. She had a few removed after baby no.3! Thanks both, might give my GP a call.
