Sounds like you hve a blood problem Hun.Most likley you are anemic, whcih happens in preganancy an you will need your docs to prescribe you some iron tablets.

There ate other conditions that cause bruising, but I'd go with anemia.x

Jez, good job I have an appointment on Thursday. Must remember to mention it then. I think I was having my bloods done anyway. Thanks for the advice.

glad i read this....i bruised really easily with my previous 2 pregnancies & carried on bruising badly afterwards....i just put it down to being clumsy & wacking my shins on the car seat when carrying it etc, but I was also very anemic with both of them! I hadnt heard of this before

My friend had a baby a 8 months ago and she is bruising lots and ha been told that there is something wrong with her blood, but nothing threatening.

In pregnancy likley cause is anemia, my mum was extremley anemic and got infections after delivering both my brother and I. So she's always drumming on at me to make sure they docs check my blood and make sure I keep my iron levels up.

In pregnant woman you should try and stay above 11.0.... I dipped to 9.0 and was given iron tablets to try and boost my levels....and they seem to work as last bloods said I'd gone up to 10.6.
