Mottling of skin on legs in third trimester (34 weeks), is it dangerous? what causes it?

Q: mottling of skin on legs in third trimester (34 weeks), is it dangerous? what causes it?

: It is not dangerous, the skin change is due to venous congestion (enlarged uterus with large vein compression) and capillary (small vessel) dilatation with hormonal changes during pregnancy. Wish you have a safe delivery with a healthy baby.
