Blue veins, anyone?

I am 4 weeks, 5 days pregnant. I have noticed the blue veins on my boobs since even before my positive HPT. However, today I noticed similar blue veins on the side of my hip/abdomen. I am extremely paranoid about pregnancy and determining if something is the result of the PIO/crinone and Estradiol OR pregnancy has been a challenge. Do you know what causes the visible veins? They aren't varicose veins that pop out, they are just much more visible under my skin. I read somewhere that it's due to progesterone, but somewhere else that it's due to increased blood supply.

    its from the increased blood supply. my skin is pretty much see through when it comes to that before I even got pregnant, the ones on my upper chest, hands, arms, legs, some of them are very visible it's spooky but I didn't see any increase of how visible they are, maybe because they are already very visible

    ^ That. I normally have very visible veins, but at the beginning of my pregnancy I was nothing but veins. Like seriously, veins everywhere.

    Yep, that's normal. It freaks me out on my boobs...makes them look so weird.

    I was born with translucent skin and blue veins. I'm a mosquito's wet dream. Then again, I am a ginger...

    on a second note I think they did increase on my chest lately! I didn't think that was possible. it looks like someone went crazy with blue crayons all over my boobs
