21 weeks preg. very healthy preg. so far other than heart palp. issues. just noticed a large bulging vein upper left leg, concerning?

Maybe normal: Bulging veins are very common in pregnancy. Pressure from the uterus on the pelvic veins leads to bulging of veins in the thighs and legs. The hormones also affect the vessels size. If there is pain and swelling though then you should be seen by a physician. Good luck.
