Is It Normal To Have Prominent Veins During Pregnancy?

I am 30 weeks pregnant and have noticed that my veins are showing up bright blue across my chest, belly, and down my arms. I have heard that they can appear more prominent in pregnant women, but they were not visible as of this morning and now I look like a spiderweb...is this normal?

Hello
Welcome here.
The prominent veins on chest are quite normal in pregnancy. This is due to stretching of skin that veins appear prominent. You dont have to worry for that.

Hope this helps.
Thanks
