brusing on abdomen

I am 30weeks. I have noticed two big bruises on my belly. One just healed but another appeared. I have no idea how I got them. I can't remember bumping into anything or anything else that could cause a bruise. Has this happened to anyone before? Should I be concerned?

She tested me for it a month ago. I am slightly anemic, which she said is normal in pregnancy,  but have been taking an iron supplement. I don't normally bruise easily or at least I didn't.

Are you anemic? I have always had slight anemia and would bruise easily as a result, but its not as common since i've been taking an iron supplement prescribed by my doctor.

I would ask your healthcare provider in case its something to be concerned about.
