A member asked:
Are bulging veins on arms symptoms of pregnancy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Veins return blood back to the heart and can carry a large volume of blood. Depending on many factors including levels of hydration, genetics, outside temperature and even physical activity, the size of the veins will vary. Also with aging, veins enlarge as tissue volume decreases. Veins also help with temperature regulation but enlarged arm veins are not a symptom of pregnancy.
