    i'm finding my feet don't really swell but if i've been standing much they feel quite bruised on the top. i have quite bad circulation and think it may be related to that.

    Thanks for your reply Catetay I tested the theroy today and didnt wear shoes all day. They were pretty good (bruised but not very visable) this morning but tonight my bruises are back. So I think it has something with being on my feet most of the day. I have antenatal on thursday so will ask them and let you know what they say.

    I had really bad swelling when I was pregnant but my feet never looked bruised - felt like it though! However after I had my DD I remember looking at my feet a few days later and the swelling had gone down but it was like their was a little fluid pocket right next to my ankle bone - it was incredibly sore and was black - looked like a bruise. The only thing that gave me some relief was massages by my hubby, it hurt but afterwards felt better and the fluid eventually went. However because you are still pregnant you may have a while before the fluid goes away!

    Yeah I would definately ask them, bruising can be harmless but can also be a sign of other not so nice things. I have my fingers crossed for you its just your shoes annoying your feet X

    Doctor had no idea but wasnt too concerned. She was more worried about my sudden rise in BP
