Red palms??
My palms are extremley red. I read about this in one of my pregnancy books. Is this happening to anyone else?
Here's what I found from a quick search:
Palmar erythema: Have the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet suddenly taken on a reddish hue? You may be experiencing palmar erythema—skin changes that are triggered by that unique hormonal cocktail called pregnancy. The good news is that palmar erythema is fully reversible. The bad news? You’ll have to wait until after you give birth for your skin to return to normal.

Not to me. I haven't heard of this being an affect of pregnancy. I hope it goes away soon!
