Don't worry: Left ovarian veins( pleuxes) drain to left renal vein, (in men it is vericocele ) form veins , will not interfere with your pregnancy or delivery.. Very rarely if left kidney tumor when renal vein gets blocked also show those veins , you don't have to worry about it.

Probably: The increase in blood volume, and release of hormones during the pregnancy will enlarge the veins in the pelvis, including those mentioned, and this may extend into the upper thigh area. If you are having severe menstrual discomfort, dyspareunia, see a phlebologist @ www.Phlebology.Org, and they will advise you well.

Entirely possible: Developing varicose veins around your ovaries is a problem that affects women who have been pregnant before. It certainly is possible for things to worsen with successive pregnancies but don't have to do so. About 15% of the time that women have ovarian vein reflux (varicose veins), they will have the symptoms of pelvic congestion syndrome that dr. Isobe mentioned.
