Bruising easily??

JillBean78

I noticed I bruise really easily now that I'm pregnant.  I wonder if I should be worried.  I have a huge bruise on my upper thigh from running into something last week.

I notice I walk into things all.the.time. now that I'm pregnant.

 

I have always bruised easily so I have not noticed an increase, actually it might be less.

I'm a dark skin native gal, so I rarely bruise. Prior to pregnancy, I can't even remember the last time I had a bruise. But, with being pg I seem to bruise (more so on my legs) from the smallest things. I meant to ask the doc. about it last week but I forgot, darn it! Good thing its not summer, with my legs exposed in public people would think DH gives me a regular nightly beat-down. lol

Bruising easily can be a sign of anemia, which is not uncommon in pregnancy.  If you're not taking a prental vitamin with iron, then you should start.  Talk to your doc about it though - they may want you to add an iron supplement.
