Veins, veins, veins! Since pregnant I got this lovely big spider vein right on my nose - looks like a permanent spot - bit annoying. In last month/2 approx, I have got major varicose veins in my legs, mainly in my calves. They are quite prominent and yuck. My legs look black and blue! I was hoping they would go away post pregnancy but was informed by a reliable source yest that...nope...most likely here to stay! (Her experience) :eek:
Has anyone had similar experiences and did they go away???

I'm sorry to say that once you get varicose veins they stay put until you have them removed.
It is one of the reasons that vascular surgeons tell women to put off having their veins sorted until they are finished having babies.
Wearing support stockings does help to minimise the amount and severity of them though.0 -

Try not to panic penny about the veins. I had a thread vein on my right shin. During pregnancy it got alot worse and got new ones on other parts if my legs and under my left eye.
2 weeks now since I gave birth and all pregnancy ones have disappeared and my original one is back to what it was.
Get yourself the support socks. I wore mine alot apartbfrom the really hot days and none of mine bulged out.
I know they are meant to be good but it's summer! I can't contemplate wearing anything on my feet. Maybe next month when temps drop....
HOpe to be one of those for who they go away again... look v ugly 0 -
Everything hurts, I've never felt as many aches and pains in my life. I'm only 33+6 and thought I'd get another few weeks before the discomforts turned up a notch. My hips hurt, my back hurts, it feels like I've been kicked between the legs - my whole pelvis hurts, if I exert myself at all (and I mean even by walking to the shop) my fingers and feet swell up. I can't turn in bed or my whole bump hurts. When I wake up in the morning my fingers and toes are so stiff and sore and puffy.
Honestly, how will I do this for another 6 weeks? 0 -

I felt like that last Friday/Saturday. Had a seriously bad nights sleep, lots of pelvic discomfort, etc etc. All of the stuff you're describing (except for the fingers and toes being puffy).
I actually sat down and had a little cry about it.
Ran a lovely bath then and it helped me to relax and did ease the pain too.
Woke this morning to a sore back, unable to turn without my pubic bone screaming back at me and all that stuff. Am 32+3 so a bit to go yet.
I think having baths, hot water bottles and back massages helps.
Its the only thing really.
Sucks though.0 -

Isolt, its very likely nothing more than the usual 3rd trimester aches and pains, but do check with your GP/ midwife for the swelling as soon as you can. In rare cases it can indicate issues that need to be monitored closely.0 -

I went from a 36-38 C to a 40C to now a 42C at nearly 38 w. I haven't gone up in cup size at all! My chest has just become even larger! Wasn't the one benefits of pregnancy meant to be bigger boobs!?! I thought it was the trade off for all the swelling, stretch marks, and discomfort 0

Oh the swollen feet and hands! I can only fit into 2 pairs of pumps now, barely. everything else I can't get my feet into. Took off my rings a couple of days ago, just about got them off. I miss my rings.0 -

Baby kicking lots all day but was ok with that. Then last night OMG the baby bump was rock hard and I couldn't get comfortable no matter what way I tried to lie down, lie on my side, either side, pillows propping me up, no pillows, etc, etc.
Then as soon as I'd get any way comfortable and start to drift off back came the need to pee again!
Grrrrr. 34 weeks today so no matter what there isn't too much longer for this to be dealt with.
Cannot wait to be finished work!!!
I had that rock hard bump and not being able to get comfortable on sunday night - I started looking through What to expect and I think it may have been Braxton hicks - but sure I haven't a clue really
I didn't get it on my last pregnancy (not that I remember). 35+3 now and yeah it really can't come fast enough at this stage! 0 -

I think the sensation is Braxton hicks. I've had it off and on for a good few weeks now. Last nights was the strongest and longest lasting though. It took a good while this morning for the hardness to soften out at all. Its very uncomfortable.
Also a night like that means that the baby is very quiet for a good while in the morning and I don't like that. The baby has a routine of movement that I know quite well at this stage and when I don't feel it move at the usual times it can get a little worrying.
Thankfully the little one did have a spate of movement, that while quieter than usual, was enough to reassure me for now.
While I've enjoyed my pregnancy overall I am certainly getting to the point now where I am looking forward to having the baby in real life and not being pregnant any more. I think when I'm finished with work I'll feel less pressure.0
