Bruising

[Charlotte2990]

Hi is this normal for blood thinning injections to cause this bruising

You bruise a lot easier when on blood thinners, the smallest bump will bruise and you may not even realised you've knocked yourself

Found you! Thanks for starting a thread.

Have you phoned 111?

I can't see any picture within your thread but this was my bruising on my stomach after about 6 weeks of blood thinners. All was fine and it went away quite quickly. It only once got that bad and then the rest of the pregnancy was fine, although I moved from stomach to thighs around 16 weeks.

Glad it turned out to be OK and thanks for sharing @EmzoElle

@Charlotte2990 posted a photo on another thread and it looked a bit like yours. Let us know how you are, please, when you have time.

I’m 22 weeks my stomach and thighs are so bruised from injecting every day since I found out I was pregnant.
i try and rotate areas. I haven’t worked out why some days I get awful bruising and other days it’s fine. I would do the injections slowly as I’ve heard this helps with bruising

This is my bruising

hi I’m new to site but I’ve just tried uploading picture thanks for your comment

Thanks @Charlotte2990 , your bump looks very cute apart from the bruise.
Sorry for sending you off the other thread, but it was so you'd get some attention. So exciting to have a beautiful baby to look forward to.
Hope all is OK, and very best wishes.
