dark veins down there

I'm almost 37 weeks and my fiance was trying to give me the perineam massage (supposed to help with not tearing during labor) and we noticed my veins down there are much much darker.. could they just be varicose veins? I have a doctor's appointment today, but I wanted to see if any other moms to be had this happen..

The doctor said that it's normal during pregnancy. It isn't varicose veins, it's just more blood flowing down there.

Yup could very well be varicose veins. They can be quite dark and look almost black.
