Christmas dinner from maternity ward

This subreddit appeared on my feed and I thought you might be interested to see my Christmas dinner from last year.

Second plate is what the midwives kindly gathered up for my husband as the hospital canteens were closed.

UK based. Despite being a fussy eater, it was an 7/10. I was just happy to have a hot meal on Christmas Day!

Thankfully our fridge full of Christmas food lasted until we got back home.

Spider veins

Has anybody else experienced spider veins suddenly appearing on their face postpartum?

I had a couple elsewhere on my body prior to pregnancy, but never on my face. I’m self conscious about my appearance and this has made me feel worse.

I’ve noticed several more on my legs postpartum, too but I assumed these may have been from pregnancy and I just haven’t noticed.

For extra context, I also have anaemia but have never seen spider veins referenced as a symptom.
