Blue veins across abdomen and hips?!!?!?

I think I'm pretty sure that I've never had this before, but wanted to post about it... I just noticed today, that I've got blue veins running like on the lower part of my abdomen... They are very noticeable, I've also got some on my boobs, but usually do, so it's hard to tell if there is any difference. Like I said, I am almost positive that I've never had this, possibly a sign that I'm pregnant. I know you get more blood flowing thru when you become pregnant, so that's what makes some veins more promenent... I can't test, not until at least tomorrow, but not even sure if I can then. Part of me wants to very badly, but the other part just wants to wait and see... I think that's what I'll do, I don't want to bother my husband about this too much. You know? I don't want him to start worrying if it's really nothing at all. So maybe I just wait and see what happens when AF should come next... oh dear, this is gonna be a long month! *laughs* It might actually be kinda fun, not really knowing, I keep hoping that morning sickness or something kicks in, at least to give me a sign! Crazy I know! If it turns out that I am pregnant, and I don't find out till next AF, then I'll be that much further along, I'll only have one more month to go, till things should look better, (m/c last baby @ about 6-8 weeks)... I am taking vitamins, and folic acid, so I know that's a good thing...

I just want to know that it's possible for me to be pregnant. All we want (at least right now!) is one baby...

Hi Lauren,

If its any consolation I was in the bath last night and noticed, rather panicy blue veins around my abdomen area and the tops of my legs at the front - i have never seen them look so 'jumped up' before!

AF not due for 6 days. I've decided to test with an early HPT on Monday. BB's have gone up a cup size in last 10 days.. and are heavy! also have blue viens on bb's and btween them, i usually have one blue vien on the right hand one which is always there - so like you - i just cant be sure its a symptom !!

All the best

With my first pregnancy, I had light blue veins on my stomach and more noticably on my breasts almost from the start. I never had morning sickness, moodiness, or any of the traditional signs that you are always told about. I beleive the lines came through almost from the start. Good luck!!!

Thanks everyone for sharing with me! :) I'm hoping...... lol I can sit here, and go over the signs that I have, and think, 'Oh my gosh, I am so pregnant!'... but then, it just seems like when it comes time to test, it's all been in my head! I am pretty sure I haven't had these veins, especially on my hip/lower ab area.. It's reassuring to see that you can have that, and still be pregnant, I don't really have many other symptoms *yet*. If I'm not pregnant, I don't understand why my *period* was the way it was. I have had the headache, like a real bad sinus one, and that was one of the things that I had last time right before I found out I was PG. M/C a month later, so never really got to experience any major symptoms. Anyway, thanx again, and good luck to everyone!! I'm hoping to test on Monday, and let my hubby know the (hopefully) good news on our 2 yr wedding anniversary!!!!! :-D

Best Wishes,

Lauren

P.s I'm kinda itching on my chest some... good sign? lol Like my boobs are itchy some....

Lauren,

With my first pregnancy, my bb's itched so bad I thought I would die. After the first trimester though, the itching stopped. I had never heard of that happening to anyone other than me till now. Hope all turns out like you wish.

my question which I don't know if any of you can answer is...

what about those of us who can't see the more blue veins because of our complexion( can you tell I am trying to be PC about this?)

any of you darker complexion ladies out there? Can you tell me if it is noticable?
