I bought some compression thigh highs and wore them pretty religiously. I honestly think they helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-veins-during-pregnancy#post-227396 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:01:20 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 227396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I'm really pale, too, so maybe I'll chalk it up to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-veins-during-pregnancy#post-226973 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 16:15:22 +0000 MamaMoose 226973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I've got lots of them!! In my legs, hands, and my boobs and belly in particular. I think part of it has to do with how light your skin is. My skin is really pale right now so they are easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-veins-during-pregnancy#post-226932 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:39:38 +0000 DillonLion 226932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No new veins popping up for me, just stretch marks. At 21 weeks. There's still such a long way to go! I am going be shredded at the end of this. Ah, pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-veins-during-pregnancy#post-226928 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:36:27 +0000 hilsy85 226928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any yet but my mom has them pretty bad...so I'm assuming I'll get them at some point :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-veins-during-pregnancy#post-226927 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:35:59 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 226927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was expecting to see more veins in other places, but I was surprised to see all the new vericose veins popping up on my calves. I'm not impressed. </p> <p>Anyone else noticing this awesome side effect? </p>
