Bruising easily?

[aali4]

Does anyone else bruise more easily, now that you're pregnant? Sometimes I have bruises that mysteriously appear. & How far along are you? Im 33 weeks

I am 36 weeks and have noticed the same with this pregnancy, it's my 4th. I've also noticed that cuts or scrapes take longer to heal. I was told that your immune system and healing abilities are slightly diminished during pregnancy to prevent the body from attacking the baby, but I haven't researched that theory

I had my iron checked today. They said it was a good reading. But I've had higher readings, and they've said it was too low. I think you're right!! Thank you..

You may need an iron supplement while your pregnant sweetie. I have acctually had this problem on and off with both my previous pregnancys and it was because of an iron deficiency.
