👉 The birthday veins are a term used to describe the network of small blood vessels that form in the skin during pregnancy, typically appearing as tiny red or purple lines. These veins develop as a result of increased blood flow to the uterus and surrounding tissues, preparing the body for childbirth. They can be seen on the abdomen, thighs, and breasts and are often mistaken for varicose veins. However, they are not harmful and usually do not cause any discomfort or health problems.
