Hi hun, this is very normal especially towards the end of pregnancy! Its due to the increased blood flow and the pressure of the baby. They will go once youve given birth. I had them with my 5th pregnancy around my botty area too! (sorri tmi) Resting does ease the pressure so try and put your feet up when you can. Hope this helps, good luck Debs xx

Hi, i also had this with babies 2 & 3 (worse with 3) but i never had them in my legs, lol.

My doctor called them vulval varicosities, sounds lurvely doesn't it, lol.

They will ease after deliver, but after my 3rd (and last) i must admit that things don't look the same down there any more, lol.

I also never showed my oh, so from about 30 weeks he never saw what was going on because i thought it would turn him off me for ever, probably overreaction on my part.

Try to sit with you feet up as much as possible and lay on your side to relieve pressure, and also cold packs may help too.

Good luck, Shell
