My OB says i have Varicose veins on my vulva?

so i discribed that i was hurting between my legs but just on the surface, and the doc says it sounds like Varicose veins on my vulva (she recommended i look to see if i can see any vein... yea right like i can see past my big ole belly) so anyway i'm really concerend about this, i'm only 17 weeks pregnant with twins so i'm really afraid it's going to get alot worse and as it is i start hurting as soon as i stand, all my doc said i could really do is lay down, well i have an 11 month old so i can't just lay down all day... anyone else know of anything else i can do? and are tehy likely to get worse as i get further along?
