Veins on Chest More Prominent Due to Breastfeeding??

I've noticed that the veins running through and around my breasts are larger and darker than they have ever been. Is this due to breastfeeding?? One is almost bulging right in the middle of my chest! Im not a fair skinned woman so these veins are pretty dark. Is this normal while breastfeeding or should I be concerned? Thank you!

What can I do next?

It happened to me with both of my kids, and cleared up after I weaned -both times.

I had them too but they went away after I stopped breastfeeding. I wouldn't worry too much about them.

I think they are! I had the same situation, and now are gone since I weened my son after 14 months :)

Totally normal - it will go away when you are done nursing.
