Random bruise? Third trimester

Hello, not sure if this is pregnancy related or not…. I’m 38 weeks pregnant and have been feeling off the past few days. I’ve been feeling faint, hot and like I need sugar to make myself feel better so I have no idea if this is related! I’ve just noticed I’ve got a massive bruise on my arm and no idea how it’s got there! Is this normal??

Not sure if its normal but your photo has reminded me that I had a similar huge bruise I had no idea of how I could have gotten at around that stage in my pregnancy.
Probably worth contacting your midwife or GP if you're not feeling well in yourself though even if the bruise is unrelated.

I know even without being pregnant, when my iron is particularly low I bruise very easily. It might be worth asking your midwife to check your iron especially feeling faint!
