Bruising *really* easily, especially legs, possibly related to pregnancy??

[MurderOfBanshees]

Just wondering if anyone has any idea about this.

I'm 17 weeks pregnant, and just noticed that my legs are absolutely covered in bruises, ridiculously so.

Now I've been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, and SPD, and have long running mobillity problems, so haven't been particularly active (in fact I've mostly been very still) or engaged in anything likely to cause bruising.

Most of the bruises are small circles, about 1-2cm across, some spread out, some grouped together. There are no bruises anywhere apart from my legs.

I'll probably see my doctor anyway, I'm seeing her regularly due to all the other pregnancy issues, but is this something I should see her about ASAP, or can it wait?

Getting fed up with the endless list of weird shit happening to my body now.

What colour are the bruises?

Mostly brown/purple.

Worthwhile seeing your GP for a blood test. My platelets dropped in pregnancy.

Ok appointment booked, they are going to be sick of the sight of me there, same goes for the hospital where they take blood.

Little bit, they look and feel like bruises.
