2nd Trimester

Spider Veins?

Hi Ladies. I'm already experiencing an outbreak of spider veins on my legs! Shoot. 2nd time moms, do these tend to go away or fade a little after pregnancy? 

Re: Spider Veins?

  • I have them too, right around my knees. I'm a first time mom, but from what I've heard they fade after delivery. I hope that's true, my legs look like my grandmas!! Do you stand a lot? I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts in an ICU. My doctor said that's why I have them.

  • UGH I have them too, but only on my right leg
    My OB said that they should go away after the baby is born.

  • I have a couple behind and on the side of my right knee. My mom and grandma have some really sexy ones that I'm sure I'm bound to inherit.
  • I already had some pre-pregnancy on my upper outer thighs from a weight gain phase a couple of years ago. :-(

  • I have them on my stomach, ugh. And I never got them with previous pregnancies so I don't know if they fade or not.
  • With my first pregnancy, I did not experience the spider veins, but with this pregnancy I am having an outbreak along my thighs and calves. I'm hoping they go away. But I'm not very hopeful, my mom had three kids and experience the spider veins, unfort. they never went away.
