Dr. William Brown answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Red palms: Red palms can result from high levels of estrogen, as during pregnancy. There is great individual variation as to who will get noticeable changes and whether this will persist for very long after delivery. Your hands are obviously very sensitive to this particular effect of estrogen.
