Okay, well I turned 15 a month ago, & recently noticed new blue veins running from the center of my chest to my boobs and nipples. I've also noticed more veins on my hip bones going down my thighs. I'm 100% VIRGIN & have never ever fooled around, & just ended my period 4 days ago. My mom has this too, but she's had a baby (me, duh) so I'm just scared because I know this is a sign of pregnancy. But what else could it be? =/

It is NOT an absolute sign of pregnancy. It could be that your skin has just gotten a little more pale, or that you're growing...certainly in the chest area. I haven't had a baby in 15 years, but I still have blue veins all over my breasts (and yes, even on my hipbones). It is nothing to be upset about.

This doesn't mean you're pregnant, and it's perfectly normal. It's most common in women who are fair-skinned, because you can see through to the veins, which are blue. It's a little strange that you never noticed them before, but as you get older and "bigger" you need more blood circulating, which is why they might get more prominent. Don't be freaked out. You didn't do anything wrong, and there is nothing you can do to get rid of them.

I have that as well, and there is totally nothing to worry about. This does not mean you are pregnant - it is possible your skin it getting a little thinner. And for example, I have stretch marks on my hips, but I haven't gained a pound in nearly a year. Everyone worries about their body, but your condition sounds 100% normal!

You are fine. It's just your veins showing through your skin. Remember before blood hits air it's blue, so that's why they look like blue lines.

Completely normal. I bet you have fair skin, and you can see veins on your wrist too. It's because there isn't enough pigment in your skin to cover up the veins.

No it is not, it isn't a sign. Many ladies have veins on their breasts and thighs, I wouldn't be concerned...It is just a normal part of your anatomy, need not to worry!!!!

I don't think you need to worry! I have that too. It's just your veins getting more accentuated as you get older. I don't think you need to worry. But good luck!

That's common on naturally big breasts, nothing to worry about. Congratulations ,you must have quite a nice set of sweater puppies there!
