Hi all I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and suffering with strawberry legs! I've never had this before and they have only appeared this past week and I have no idea how to get rid of them 😭 anyone suffer and how you get rid of them?

I don’t really know what I’m looking at... what are strawberry legs?

Raven88 · 01/07/2018 21:27

I have strawberry legs too. I've always had it.

Yer what? Never heard of strawberry legs but it looks like mine after I've shaved/been out in the heat.

BrutusMcDogface · 01/07/2018 21:31

Here you go! Explains why I sometimes get it after shaving! Maybe use a body scrub or check your razor is sharp enough? It might be the hot weather, too.

Ah!! I get this too.... never knew it had a name 😂

I use a scrub and I epilate... not sure how to fix it, I’ve never really thought too much about it tbh!

They just look like legs?

WhirlingTurkey · 02/07/2018 07:56

Is "strawberry legs" code for "perfectly normal legs"?

QueenCharming · 02/07/2018 07:59

Ahh fuck it... I thought my legs were normal, now they are strawberry legs. Thanks OP Grin

We're do you guys get off ? So sick of seeing sarcastic comments on this site.... if you've got no info on remedies and your just here to mock. Fuck off. Simple.

There are a lot of sarky comments on here... but I think you’re being a bit over sensitive on this one OP.

Your photo does just show normal legs. I’m reading these responses as humourous ways of telling you your legs are normal!

Most people seem to have this and not even know it’s a thing. I get that pregnancy makes us all turn a bit drama queen, but really... there’s no maliciousness here 🤷🏻‍♀️

WhirlingTurkey · 02/07/2018 08:45

If you don't want sarky comments I think you're in the wrong place. You were probably looking for Netmums. Easy mistake to make hun!

QueenCharming · 02/07/2018 09:16

It’s just bantz op! Your legs are actually a lot prettier than mine!
What I meant was, I’ve had strawberry legs and arms come
to think of it my whole life and never knew that it had a term!

QueenCharming · 02/07/2018 09:18

In fact I’m 40 weeks pregnant and I’ve got true strawberry legs as mine are red and swollen a long with the little ditty bits Wink plus it’s summer but I don’t actually give a shit as it’s too hot

Grandmaswagsbag · 02/07/2018 09:21

Well all this time and I never knew I was sufferer of this condition. Where can I find a support group?

BrutusMcDogface · 02/07/2018 09:49

Woooooooah! Bloody hell, op. Calm your tits.
