Visible Abdominal Vein

During pregnancy, you might get a visible pain in the abdomen. This is caused because of an increased supply of blood required for moving vitamins, nutrients, and oxygen back and forth between you and your baby. You can consider the huge vein bulges in the abdominal region as the lifeline of the baby. They need nutrients as much as we do.

Important Facts About Visible Veins

The vein is important for the survival of your baby. As the blood volume increases by 20-40% during pregnancy, veins need to expand for pumping this blood to and from the placenta.

Treatment for Visible Veins

There is no treatment for this. After the baby is born, the vein will disappear as the blood volume returns slowly to the pre-pregnancy levels.
