My uterus is WHAT?!

Sorry if this is TMI for some but Friday i had my annual pap while at my 2nd prenatal checkup with my Midwife. Durring my exam she informed me i had the unique uterus some women get while pregnant where it turns a "beautiful shade of purple"

I was so caught off guard by it, i didn't have the chance to ask further questions. She said it to me in a cheery tone so i wasn't concerned, just curious so when i got home I googled it about a hundred times and found no information!

Has anyone else ever heard of this?!?!

    I've always been told by my gyno at annual appointments that my uterus is a "healthy deep dark red".  Maybe these medical professionals just forget that not everyone lives between women's legs all day!!  And we don't have a clue what color it is to begin with!!!!

    Perhaps, because that would have made more sense to me...i've heard of that happening in pregnancy, but i know she def. said uterus which is why it caught me off guard

    If she said uterus, she misspoke (as you can't see your uterus during a speculum exam, only your cervix). Anyhow, the coloring she was referring to is Chadwick's sign...a completely normal sign of pregnany in some women. HTH :-)

    When I had my first OB appt. with my last pregnancy, my doc said "well, your cervix is a nice blue color, so yup, your pregnant!" She explained that it was from the extra volume of blood that accumulates in pregnancy and was perfectly normal.
