Holy cow! Varicose Veins! Where??! Not where you think lol

Question

27 weeks:
Oh so today I have discovered that I have varicose veins, and they aren't where you think they are.

I thought I looked a little swollen down there, and after my daily bathroom dance I noticed the awkward feeling of pressure. Then the swelling started so of course I feel around because I can't see anything anymore and I feel lots of bulding. After grabbing my iPhone and get a closer look, I have discovered that I have large, ugly varicose veins on my baby maker lol.

Talk about things your mom never told you about... 
My grandmother congratulated me on being the first woman in my family to get them. Go figure!

Answer

I had 1 large one with my first, and now I have them on both sides. I'm really glad my tootie isn't my money maker haha. The pressure is awful.

Answer

Not really varicose veins but they are definitely pronounced:-) it's from the pressure and increased blood flow. I know plenty of friends that have gotten them there. I knew my son turned head down when the pressure and swelling started in. I'm 29 weeks, and have ugly varicose veins down my right leg :-( they hurt and can't wait for them to go away!!!!

Answer

I have them too. This is my 3rd pregnancy and had it with all of them. I was so sure I would need reconstructive surgery! Good news is they do go away after you have the baby. 👍🏻

Answer

Answer

I have them too! 3rd pregnancy for me. Doctor assures me they are normal and won't interfere with delivery but they are hideous and painful at times.

Answer

I didn't know we could get them in there!
