Hot, red legs

Ok.. so this is very strange.. I feel like a complete weirdo. All of a sudden my legs feel like they are on fire and I look down and they are red. Obviously swelling is normal with pregnancy but there's no swelling just a very strange hot burning sensation ( and yes... only in my legs and feet) Oddly enough this just happened all of a sudden.. its not a rash or anything.. my legs looking completely normal a little bit ago. My fiance is suggesting maybe it is a sign of labor? If so I sure have not heard of it as such and didn't happen with our first two. I have been having contractions every 3-5 minutes for about an hour and a half now but this has been normal for me since about 27 weeks. I am on Procardia every 4 hours to calm the contractions and last took it about a half hour ago so the contractions will start to calm shortly. But this leg thing is very strange. Anyone ever experience anything similar?

 

I had PUPPS. It started on my belly & quickly spread to my legs and arms. It was constant itching. I was able to treat it, but not really cure it. I slathered on creams (vick's was the best), took lots of baths, used a steroid from the doc & used a special soap. It cleared up after delivery, finally. Apparently it is more common with multiples as well as boys.

 

Call your DOC ASAP, it sounds like some signs of DVT. call your Doc now.

thank you!

 

I agree with Aimless, definitely make a call right now. :hug:
