This week I've had workmen come to my house to fit my kitchen, they put boxes in the doorway between the living room and the kitchen. About 3 times they called me into the kitchen and I rushed through bumping my bump on the sharp door handle as I went into the kitchen as the opening was so narrow and my belly is so big.
I'm not worried about the actual bruising/baby as it was more of a scratch on the skin and not actually a bang to the bump, but the bruising looks terrible.
I showed my friend today and she said it looks awful.
I have a scan and consultant appointment on Monday and I'm so worried as to what they may think.
I've always bruised easily, so everything looks much worse than it actually is. I've had testing for it before when I was a teen as I used to bruise so much and my parents were worried and I'm hoping that it is still on my medical notes.
Am I worrying over nothing? My MW knows me from my previous baby and knows we are are a happy family, decent etc - but the consultant has not met us before.
Are they used to people with bruising, I'm guessing it must be fairly common as people are not used to having such big bellies, so bump into things.
