hi, im 10weeks pregnant with our 3rd.
i often get lightheaded, which i believe is probably due to my low blood pressure.
yesterday at work i noticed my hands had tunred bright yellow, a couple of my colleagues then noticed and got a bit concerned, but a few minutes after noticing, they gradually turned back to their usual colour.
i dont smoke and never have, dont eat much yellow or orange food, wasnt wearing gloves yesterday (and dont think i own any yellow clothing anyway) and didnt do anything different to what i usually do, and have never noticed it before (im 24)

any ideas? is this 'normal' in pregnancy?

It can be a sign that your liver is strugeling if it happens when you are not pg but I dont know what it means if you are pg. I would speak to a doctor about it.

I would speak to a dr just in case it is a problem with your liver. I'm no expert, but I have never heard of this happening in pregnancy.
