Im not sure but I have read that the vericose veins are a pregnancy symptom.. IDK if that has anything to do with a lot of walking or not but it could be.. If its painful I would mention it to your dr to see if theres anything they could do. they might just tell you to stay off your feet.. maybe bed rest
Actually my dr said and I've read online that by exercising daily can prevent varicose veins but also if ur family or u have had a history with them then ur most likely to get them specially through pregnancy and they can be painful also there's creams and other methods to help with the pain or even Mimi size them or even make them go away but ask ur dr I'm sure he or she can prescribes something for u,,, good luck
Me toooo!!! :(:( I have one on each leg and never got one with my previous pregnancy, I got it around the same time as you are, and my doctor said it was normal.
Most health insurance companies consider varicose veins a major health issue and covers up to 100% to get them removed! Just a little fyi!
My doctor also told me they'd very likely go away after the baby was here.
The first time after the pregnancy it pretty much went away, not completely but enough.. I'm just concerned its so much worse this time.. Thanks ladies for your input.. I'll definitely be talking to my doctor..
