bruising(hope i spelled it right)Please read

Today i just had noticed the underline where my pants usally holds is bruising,and i dont know what to do... I need to know if i should call my doctor, or go to the hosiptal.   Im 21 weeks along,and i just want to be safe and not have any scary bruising. but my mom did say it could be me not having a enough of something the baby and i both need. But im just confused. if you've had this problem or know of it i would like some feed back!
Thank you for ur time.

Hmmm...I've never had anything like that, so I cant be much of help there. Are you feeling okay besides that? Has your baby been moving around like he/she normally does?

Never had anything like that. But I was looking up adema, that swelling thing, the other day because I noticed that my hands and feet started to swell some and it mentioned that if you have swelling in the face and eyes and bruising that you might have it. So if you're also swollen you might have that which is something you should definitely see your doc about! That the only thing I've heard about pregnancy and bruising but try googleing it. That always helps me.

Im feeling alright. its just been real hot here and i think its the reason but im not sure. My baby moves alot! it very much has the hiccups, and kicks around 2am. Then im up an extra hour so i know my baby is ok!  

I see my doctor may 29th, so i will mention to her about my bruising. its very wierd i think. And this is my first child... SO im worried... But i will google it and see what it tells me.. Thank you so much for your feed back!

If you bruise easily, it may mean that you are lacking iron.

Like Nichole said, if you're lacking iron you could bruise easily.

Also, I'm not sure if this can happen at 21 weeks or not, but depending on how much of a lil kicker you have on your hands (& if you are prone to bruises) your baby CAN actually cause bruising if s/he kicks the same spot repeatedly.

I know it sounds crazy, but believe me - it can happen..lol. Mine started leaving bruises on me. I was lacking iron (i'm severely anemic so that also is a reason) & Logan likes to kick the same spot for HOURS. I got a couple nice sized bruises from him.
