Women are at particular risk of varicose veins during pregnancy. Increased blood flow and an expanding uterus put additional pressure on the veins of the legs during this time. Additional progesterone production causes the walls of the blood vessels to relax. All of these factors combine to increase the likelihood that blood will pool in these lower veins of the legs and result in bulging, twisting varicose veins during the last few months of pregnancy and for some months afterward.
