Solution

The pulmonary veins and umbilical veins.
The umbilical vein carries nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus.
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart (left atrium) to be pumped all through the body.
Even though it carries oxygenated blood, it is considered to be a vein as it carries blood towards the heart.
