The Dreaded Veins!

A tragedy has occurred: blue veins have decided to make a prominent appearance on both legs. Any ideas on how to minimize appearance and prevent more from showing up to the party? Certainly they are inevitable as mom had them severely but any advice is appreciated. Please and thank you!

Re: The Dreaded Veins!

  • My OB suggested compression stockings last pregnancy. Mine went down some but my OB said they would likely come back when I got pregnant again. The increased blood flow makes them more prominent right now. I will be having my large ones removed after these babies are born. But, I have very visible varicose veins that started showing up when I was around 20.

  • Good thing for us, most of our pregnancy is in the winter so I just wear pants most the time. I have super thin/white skin and have always been rather vein-y. I find that a spray tan makes quite a difference. So if I'm going somewhere special I will get one.

  • Thanks guys!! I'll try compression leggings and putting my feet up (like I need an excuse) :)
  • Quality lemongrass oil mixed with coconut oil rubbed on there should help

    Now this is what I'm talking about! Thanks!
  • Mine are all over my boobs, stomach and chest. :(

    I had a weird coloring last night and DH looked at it and we thought I was bruised. We looked again and it was veins everywhere.
