I've had pains in my legs throughout my pregnancy, mostly cramping though. Not sure about the blue vein and vericose veins though. Might be worth speaking with your MW about.

Hi there, sorry to hear about the cramps etc. Must be a real pain. It does occur in pregnancy. Some say due to increase pelvic pressure on lower limbs reducing circulation, or others say might be due to deficiencies in certain minerals. Varicose veins do occur also because of the increased pelvic pressure again, and some women are just more predisposed eg, family history, standing up loads at work etc, types of veins you have....

Hopefully it should ease up! Im sure there are some good excercises for the cramps if you google!

Those shooting pains are most likely sciatica. I had them with my first pregnancy- what a pain!
