Bruising in bikini line at 17 weeks

Probably nothing to do with pregnancy, but today I noticed it felt sore in my bikini line when I rubbed/scratched it through my trousers. When I looked, I saw a large, dark purple bruise (about the size and shape of a massive slug!). From the look of it, I know I'd have felt it (and worried) if I'd had an injury there in the last day or 2, so I just wondered if anyone knew anything about bruising in pregnancy, or had experienced something similar. There's a smaller bruise just above it.

It feels like a painful stretch mark (I have many from previous 2 pregnancies!)

Thanks in advance

Is there a sensitive bulge underneath it? Just ruling out a hernia.

Varicose vein?
