Varicose veins or in other terms more visible dilated veins are common in pregnancy. Majority of the time they are seen on the feet, legs and thighs but actually they could be anywhere. So if somebody notices more superficial veins on the breasts, it is a physiological change in pregnancy
Breast engorgement is a normal change during pregnancy, this will lead to veins appear to show more. I hope this help. Dr Farmer
