mine has no colour, just that it swells up and can see it's the enlarged veins.
very very ugly....
I didn't have these during my 1st 2 pregnancies, so i guess it's really like what babycentre says, "worse with each successive pregnancy and as you get older."
This is what i found from babycentre abt varicose veins:-
You're more likely to get varicose veins if other members of your family have had them. They're more common in women than men, and if you have them, they tend to get worse with each successive pregnancy and as you get older. Being overweight, carrying twins or higher multiples, and standing for long periods can also make you more susceptible.
The good news is that varicose veins tend to improve after you give birth, particularly if you didn't have any before you got pregnant. And if they don't get better, there are a variety of ways to treat them.
You may have also noticed tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin, especially on your ankles, legs, or face. These are called spider veins because they often appear in a spider- or sunburst-like pattern with little branches radiating out from the center (though sometimes they may look more like the branches of a tree or separate thin lines with no particular pattern). These don't cause discomfort, and they typically disappear after delivery.
