Bright red feet and mottled skin on legs??

[Simbalove]

Hi all

I've just noticed that my feet are so red tonight like a tomato and my legs are very mottled. My legs have been a little mottled throughout pregnancy but tonight it's pretty extreme and all I have to do is touch my legs for the area to go white instantly and stay this way for a few seconds.

I guess it's to do with my circulation but wanted to check that it's nothing to really worry about?

It's not as if I've even been on my feet all day? Now lying with my feet up.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!I'm currently just short of 38 weeks.

Thanks

This happened to me the other day, minus the feet thing. I freaked a bit and asked a MW at the hospital as I had an appt there anyway. For me it was nothing to be worried about, a bit silly really. I'd been sitting in the sun wearing black and my legs had just reacted underneath. Never happened before. Yours may be something else though and with feet too. Can't hurt to ring MW if you're concerned. Always better to get checked out and might be something a bit more serious than my silly blotchy legs the other day, x

Any swelling?

I've never heard of this so prob an allergic reaction.

Why not ring triage and just ask?

Feet r slightly swollen but not anymore than normal. Colour has gone down a little now since lying down but will give the midwife a call in the morning if still the same. Thanks for ur replies x

Mine have started doing this too the last week or so, especially my feet. If I don't have them up they get really red and mottled looking with white spots. Not swollen more than normal though. I figured its just all the extra blood we have now and the pressure of the babies messing with circulation a bit.
