We do bruise easier when we are pregnant. I had a massive bruise a few weeks ago on my arm, I had no idea how I had got it and mentioned it at the doctors when I went. She did say when you are pg you bruise easier and she did explain why but i've forgot what she said .

Sorry I can't be more help I think i've got pregnancy amnesia or something

If it comes to me what she said i'll add it on this post. I swear I only went a few weeks ago and it's gone out of my head totally what she said.

i think the reason you bruise more easily during pregnancy is something to do with having extra blood and fluids.

Brusies that just randomly appear without any knowledge of knocking yourself should be checked with MW though, as can be a sign of low iron.
