Bruises???

Question

I'm almost 21 weeks pregnant and I found a chain of bruises on the back of my calf and haven't hit my leg on anything. Is this normal?

Answer

Tell your doctor and ask to check your blood platelet. When I get bruises without getting hurt it turns out to be low blood platelets which can be a serious problem during pregnancy if it's extremely low. I am 24 weeks pregnant and I get checked 2 times a month because mine have gone as low as 40 and the normal is between 150 and 450 and for a pregnant women its normal to drop a little bit between 100-150.
