Hi, I understand your concern. The green lumps on your abdomen in pregnancy are nothing but tortured blood vessels under skin.. as blood supply to the area is increased & also skin is stretched & thinned out making the vessels clearly seen. Please don't worry, it's normal , They will disappear after delivery. Only care you need to take is- not to itch/ scratch them..( for itching is common on stretched pregnant abdomen) sever itching may injure the blood vessel, to cause bleeding & ulcers difficult to heal.You can use pregnancy oinment like strechnil/ pregnacare .. to avoid such itching. Thanks.
