AnswerDuring pregnancy, blood vessels can come to the surface of the skin and the tiny cappilaries can form a starburst effect called "spider angiomas of pregnancy". We can also see spider angiomas even when the patient is not pregnant. They are harmless and will not effect your daughter or the pregnancy. They should disappear after the baby is born.
