What on earth is this?!? I’m pregnant, if relevant, with a second baby.

Is it pregnancy related?! Is it going to go away?! Am I just patchy now? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

Please help good people of MN

I had these during both of my pregnancies! According to both my midwife & also my GP, it's caused by poor circulatuon to the arms/legs because of the increase in blood flow to the uterus, placenta etc. They made me look like corned beef Grin

DD2 is now nearly 7 months old & they're gone, I'd actually forgotten all about it until I saw your post Smile
