anyone bruising easily?

Is it bruising or varicose veins?

I have a varicose vein in my leg that looks like a big bruise that comes and goes since being pregnant.

I have a nice display of bruises on my thighs as well.

I have bruises all over my shins. I don't know wtf is going on.

I'm all bruised up. I'm like that normally, but it's worse pp.

More bruises here. I have a really bad one on the side/back of my calf. I couldn't figure it out but then I realized that it's where LO's car seat bangs up against me when I walk while holding it.

No increase in bruising here.
Eta: I'm EBF and am 11 weeks pp tomorrow. Using condoms for birth control. It took 3-4 weeks for my epidural bruising to resolve and 2-3 weeks for where the nurse hit a vessel in my thigh when giving my Rhogam shot. But other than that back to my normal self, which is to say no bruising without notable trauma, like where I whacked my shin on the corner of the coffee table.

Me too! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm still taking a PNV too.

Ive noticed a ton more bruises! I just assumed it was from the carseat or stroller.

[WittyLittle]

Yup another car seat bruiser here! And I also have one on the inside of my arm from dangling my arm into the crib at night while attempting to pretend (to myself) that I'm still asleep.

Yep..... My legs are covered. I was anemic after my delivery complications, but they said I'm fine now. However, the bruising still continues. I hit my hand on the headboard the other day wearing a clunky bracelet and was left with a massive bruise.

The bruising has gotten worse over the last week so Im actually going in to see my OB and get blood work done to see if im anemic or if something else is going on. They seemed to think it warrented an appointment
