Yes, very normal, especially in your boobs and on your stomach. Your body is increasing blood flow, thereby making your veins more prominent

It's perfectly normal. Just as Joelle said, it's due to an increase in blood flow. My boobs and abdomen look like road maps when I'm pregnant. There are lines going every which way. I think the fairer you are, the more prominent they seem.

Hope this helps and congrats on your pregnancy!
