Is someone beating me?

I keep finding these huge random bruises on my legs and have no idea where they come from. It makes me feel like I must have invisible person beating me in my sleep or something. I have heard it can be normal for pregnant women to bruise easier, but I guess I should probably bring this up at my next appointment?

    Are you anemic? My husband had random bruises so he started eating more iron.

    Not that I'm aware of. I have had issues in the past with donating blood because my iron won't be high enough, but at my first blood draw they said everything looked good. I just had my glucose test today and they took blood (obviously) so maybe they will check my iron again?

    Ask you md to check your hemoglobin and platelets. Just to see if your anemic. Though usually with pregnancy your blood supply greatly increases!

    My iron came up low after my glucose test. OB said its very normal in second trimester. I started taking slow release iron opposite my prenatal.
