Vaginal veins.: Vaginal veins are actually quite common during pregnancy and tend to worsen as the duration of the pregnancy increases. They can be due to back flow (reflux) either through the ovarian, hypogastric or saphenous veins. Once the pregnancy is over, the veins usually resolve. During pregnancy, support panty hose and leg elevation may help. After delivery, see a vein specialist.
