A member asked:

34 weeks pregnant. healthy pregnancy. feet turn purpleish/red when standing, and ache and throb until i get off them. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds normal.: Expanding baby compresses vessels that bring blood back to the heart from the lower extremities. This causes pooling of blood in the feet with a purple/red color. Aching comes from the same. Best treatment is to not stand on feet and to lay with your L side down when you can.
