    There are a few thing that could make you prone to bruising, maybe go see you gp. Iron is a big one

    Are you still pregnant?
    If you get bruises on your middle (like the one on your breast) they are a bit more of a worry than arms or legs, so I think its time to see a Dr and get some blood tests done
    Especially since you are due to give birth soon- I think? They'd want to know ahead of time if you had low platelets (the little clot makers) rather than working it out at the time.
    Hopefully its nothing, just one of those things, but its better to be on the safe side

    :yeahthat: Especially the bit about bruises on your torso more than arms and legs.

    I had bruising as a teenager (27 on my legs once ) and it was low zinc. I had a blood test and they worked out what was lacking. It cleared up really quickly after that.

    Sorry I have to say regardless, go see your doctor.. Bruising is not something I take lightly, had too many things happen in our family...
