Darker veins in your legs? Anyone else?

Hello! I have very light skin and am starting to notice more pronounced veins in my legs- behind my knees especially. No pain or any other symptoms. I have factor 5- a blood clotting disorder, so I'm a little extra aware. Just curious if any other ladies are noticing this? Thanks! and I hope you're all feeling good. I'm 12 weeks, 2 days and saw my little one 2 days ago!

By now, your blood volume has increased dramatically, so it might just be because of that.  Varicose veins are also not uncommon.  If you're concerned about this, especially given your medical history, you should definitely ask your doctor.

Hi there, I myself am ghostly pale and I can see my veins in my legs now also. Feel free to jump in on the symptoms thread!

Thanks, @MonaLisaRalphio and @WinchesterGirl ! I will add this to the symptoms thread as it keeps up

I've definitely noticed this and I'm really not that pale either.  It's not just spider veins, it's like all of my veins are more visible.  I assume it's some combination of increased blood supply or poor circulation.
