Pregnancy brings a variety of physical changes, and one common condition many women experience during this time is the appearance of varicose veins. These veins often develop in the legs due to increased blood volume, pressure on the veins, and hormonal shifts that cause blood vessel walls to relax. While many women manage varicose veins with little discomfort, concerns can arise about the risk of complications, including vein rupture. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and preventative measures related to varicose veins during pregnancy can help expectant mothers feel prepared and informed.
