A member asked:

Hi, does having veins run through your areola mean you're pregnant especially if they weren't there before?

Dr. John Berryman answered

Veins near areola: Veins leading up to the areola is not as good a "rough indicator" of pregnancy as is a "late period". Breast fullness and tenderness may of course indicate pregnancy, but not generally unless you are weeks beyond when your period is due.
