Hi everyone I have quite muscular legs with always had few veins on them getting more prominent over the years in 29 .in my second pregancy now im 18 weeks and the amount of spider veins on my legs and veins more prominent is quite a lot suddenly this time around shoukd I be concerned? I also have them on either side of my groin getting slightly risen and going into my front area quite bad already. I'm on asprin this time around aswell. Any advice to help them of will they get better after pregancy or stay now ? I hate my legs before pregancy now can't stand to look at them !!

I had the same problem. Slight issue in first pregnancy, worse in 2nd and truly awful in third. I had them in my groin too.
Support tights and keep your legs raised whenever possible. Try not to stand for too long.
They will ease after the birth but not return to pre pregnancy form. I had mine removed (many years ago). I think there are better ways of dealing with them now.
Things will get better!
