Hi! I just noticed this blue bruise on my left leg. I don’t remember bruising my leg on anything. I’m 22 weeks 6 days. Anybody else experiencing this? Can someone explain what this could be?

Question

Answer

If you didn't bump yourself, it could just be varicose veins. I have a spot like this on my left leg but I also have some other tiny veins showing around it too.

Answer

This happens to me all the time, pregnant and not pregnant. But if you experience it a lot more, I'd mention it to your doctor. When I start to get more unexplained bruises than normal, that's when I know I am anemic again and need to be on iron supplements. But that's likely not the case for one bruise. For me, it was when both legs were completely covered in unexplained bruises.
