ITs not constant though.
Its only every few minutes and its quite strong


Answers:

You are pretty young for AAA, plus you'd likely feel that in the middle of the torso rather than off to one side since that is where the abdominal aorta runs. Unless you are quite visibly pregnant, your veins would probably not pulse as you describe.

You may just have a vein that is close to the surface or has been irritated in some way ( a bruise, a recent workout, etc.). If it bothers you, see your health care provider for an ultrasound to rule out any other possibilities.

Good luck.
