Sudden bruising and odd rash?

I'm 21 weeks pregnant, over the last few days I've suddenly had multiple bruises appear on my legs and an almost pin-prick rash on my arm. In the same time period I've started feeling nauseous and exhausted (albeit I know can be typical of pregnancy). Symptoms are perhaps not related at all but thought I'd post in the hopes someone had an idea of what it could be?!

I'll attach some pics... x

Not a clue but bumping for you… I would contact your midwife, probably nothing but does seem rather unusual… pregnant or not!

@ElaElaEla thank you ♥️ I know, it's literally been a matter of 48hrs and they've all appeared... that's the oddest part 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

Yes, ring your MW tomorrow, unexplained bruising is a symptom that needs to be checked

They will probably want blood tests, including a full blood count

I'd just ring the ward now for advice.. maternity is open 24 hours a day incase it's something serious. Sure it's fine but not worth risking x

My mum had thrombocytopenia in pregnancy which causes bruising and bleeding. I would phone GP first thing and ask to be checked over but hopefully it’s just a weird pregnancy side effect.
