Do the veins in my legs look normal?

I have severe health anxiety and this is the new thing. Do the veins on my legs look normal? I’m 27w. They just seem really blue - I’m aware I sound crazy I am currently getting therapy but it doesn’t stop me from panicking.

Don't look anything out of the ordinary to me, but if concerned then do speak to your ME.

Yes they look totally normal, there’s a very slightly higher chance of varicose veins when pregnant but you would know if you had them. They tend to stick out of the skin

Yes. My god you do not want to see mine! Varicose veins have got much worse in pregnancy (32 weeks). Think I'm going to have to see a specialist after I've had the baby. They throb and itch.
Went to see the GP because they were so itchy and uncomfortable, and he just said it's normal.
So don't worry!
I had terrible anxiety in my first pregnancy. I hope you're finding a way to get through the days best as you can. It's really debilitating 💐

Thank you! I just panic as I’m on blood thinners due to a previous clot in 2019 (I’ve been absolutely fine since) so everything triggers it x

Does this look like a bruise? It feels like one
