Bruising

I mean, that’s just my life. Bruise like and peach and never know where they’ve popped up from
@Marti_leigh it wasn’t overly heavy and wasn’t on my arm long. It just doesn’t explain the other one 🤷🏻♀️
@Kristiina 28, not that I’m aware of no, I’m not on any medication. I was on aspirin during pregnancy but baby 4 months old now Just seems odd, especially the smaller one appearing, I also have a small one of top of my wrist too! Just not the first time it’s happened
I’m always covered in bruises but I have a blood disease and am on medication including blood thinners. Maybe worth just checking with the GP to see if you can get a CBC?
I guess it’s two options: 1) if it’s only been a couple of occasions and you otherwise have no other symptoms, then keep an eye on it and if there are any more bruises for no obvious reason then get it checked 2) if it bothers you enough then just speak to GP and they may do some blood tests for you. If any concerns I think it’s always good to get it checked even just to get their opinion Btw did you have any blood tests at your 6week check up?
@Allie I’m keeping a log incase they increase, might speak to GP Thank you
@Kristiina yeah I’m keeping a log now that I’ve noticed more. No, no bloods. I had blood test at hospital after birth for my iron and I was borderline then so not sure if related. Not sure
How old are you? Have you got any conditions or family history involving issues with blood clotting? Are you on blood thinners? Are you generally well in yourself, any unexplained weight loss? I’m not a doctor but if you started bruising for no reason and it’s unusual to you then I’d get it checked with the GP just in case
