What Causes Burning And Bulging Of Veins After Pregnancy?
The veins in my hands and arms started to become more pronounced during my pregnancy last year. I am now 7 months post partum and my veins are worst. If I m changing my sons diaper or just walking with my arms down they burn and bulge more. I am 29 years old, never had weight issues, I weight 110 right now and I m 5 4. I am exclusively breastfeeding and haven t had my period return yet. Any suggestions to what s going on with my body? Thank you.

Veins become prominent during pregnancy due to hormones.These will subside when you resume your menstruation.
