A member asked:

So im 18w3d pregnant and my legs are now purple and blochey from theighs tp ankles! is this a bad sign?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Circulation: If its both legs and relatively even between both its probably a sign of the reduced return of blood from your lower extremities that women get during pregnancy. This causes some discoloration and swelling. Its more of a concern if only on one leg. That might be sings of a blood clot on that side.
