Another question.........

I've heard that veins on your chest can be a symptom of PG, but what about a lot of veins on your lower abdomen? Last night I noticed tonnes of veins on my lower abdomen, and a few stretch marks :( the stretch marks were mostly near my pelvic bones, to the sides though. What do you think, I am grasping at air again?

I don't know about the lower ab veins, but its possible. I don't think the stretch marks are a sign though, sorry. One reason veins get more prominent is because your blood volume increases significantly when pregnant, so it could cause all veins to get more noticeable. I hope it means something for you!

Good Luck!
