At the very end of my pregnancy I had a lot of swelling / retained water (I gained 35 lbs in 3 weeks!) And had mild pre-e for that last week before I ultimately delivered.

11 months pp I look at my arms or the tops of my feet or the back of my hands and see the veins are really bulgy.....like someone who is a body builder and you can see their veins.....and let's just say I have no where close to looking like a body builder otherwise!

I was never like this before pregnancy so I can only assume it is related. Did this happen to anyone else? If so...did it ever stop? I've noticed this for the past several months. At first I thought it was because you have extra blood in your system when pregnant.....but that has for sure regulated by now!
