I think i got a spider vein? is that normal if pregnant?

Yes: It is common as weight increases, hormonal effects on veins leading to dilatation and gravid uterus pressure on vena cava.

Not uncommon: As dr. Gor said, hormones, increased pressures on your veins, and more circulating blood volumes all contribute to you developing spider veins with pregnancy.
