bruises??

[melyork29]

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I have noticed lately that sometimes I have little bruises on my stomach? They are very small almost like pea sized and are not very dark, but noticeable. I am very light skinned. Could this be from my son? He is VERY active. This didn't happen with my first pregnanc, so its threw me for a loop lol!

Never heard of that before. But i know when people have iron deficiency they bruise more easily. So maybe its that? Definitely mention it to the doctor though :)

Hmm I've never heard of that happening before. I wouldn't get alarmed or anything since they are so small but maybe just make a mental note to mention it at your next drs appt and hopefully they'll be able to give you some insight on it.?

Yea they are bruises lol I thought the same thing. When they come up it like a light color then the next day they turn a mild yellow like a bruise that's going away then the next day they are gone lol

I dont know about bruises, are you sure thats what they are? I know that pregnancy can cause random dark patches on the skin! I have never heard of bruising before you should mention it to your doctor to be sure its normal!
