Ok Turning Smurflike Can't Be Normal...this is getting CRAZY!!!!

[BedfordGal]

So this is the newest..my legs and feet are now turning blue. Doesn't matter if i'm sitting or standing.  I went to the actual maternity hospital yesterday thinking i'd get better attention there but all i got told is for me it's normal...limited circulatoin due to the swelling in my legs and pressure from my uterus. Well i'm only 23 weeks so that pressure going to get much worse. It stands to reason my legs will always be blue and cold and isn't that a sure fire way to lose your legs? This is crazy! Sometimes i think i'd rather live in the USA where you pay for your medical care but at least you get better service. Anyway i just needed to vent more then anything..i'm getting TOTALLLY frustrated. I'll probably end up losing my job because i'm missing too much time. It's just way too uncomfortable to be on my feet. Did anyone else have this issue or anything close...i just really need to talk to someone who may have went through the same thing. I've personally NEVER heard of it before.

wow really? no my hands are fine..it's all below my hips...there's probaby different veins that can be compressed though i would think. It's scary though i know.

How about Hands?! Yesterday after I got out of a long shower my palms were dark blue!! They went away as my body cooled but how weird!

yeah that's pretty much what they said...told me not to worry but i would think that could do some permanent damage.....they said my uterus is probaby pressing on a vein...it's just frustrating..i'm only 23 weeks..it can only get worse :(

The baby maybe in a position where it could be cutting off the blood flow to your legs
