Is anyone really self conscious about how big and visible their veins are? I know I'm emotional and all... but I can't seem to take my bra off near anyone or near a mirror without crying. And my boyfriend tries to make me feel better... but it doesn't work. I know he doesn't care. But I do and its upsetting...

The veins will go back to normal after pregnancy. Your body is doing what it is supposed to. You have an increased blood volume due to pregnancy and that is why they are so noticeable.  My skin is very fair and all I see are these blue road maps. In no time they will be gone and you will be back to normal. I'm sure it bothers you more then anyone else.
