My right hand is turning brown & looks dead! Picture!!!

[Gabrielle22]

My right hand has been like this all day. I am 23 weeks pregnant. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. What could this be?!?! I used some cleaning supplies today, but nothing out of the ordinary. Its NEVER done this before.

No idea but I would go to a Dr today.

Not sure if you're from the UK or US but if you're from the UK, you'll know the show Embarrassing Bodies. Anyway I was watching it last week and there was a woman on there whose hands and arms had turned basically black and it was due to pregnancy. Something to do with a change in skin pigment. This might be nothing like that but it's just a thought, go to your doctor asap for peace of mind. Good luck xxx

I would go to doctor but may be as pp said it could be a change in skin pigment. I have noticed with both pregnancies that my freckles get a lot darker and my hair lighter.

I wonder why it would just be my right hand tho...kinda weird.

 

[Bex84]

it could be circulation or something like that, maybe just give midwife a ring

I would check with a doctor, does it hurt? If so, it could be a circulation issue too...

Do you possibly ride in the passenger's seat of the car often, or have you recently? I know that my left arm/hand is always darker than my right because I drive so much and that side gets more sun.

Carpal tunnel syndrome?? It's common (ish) in pregnancy. See you doctor hun xx

 

[Gabrielle22]

No it's definitely not a tan. My skin is atually pealing off. My hand didn't get burnt either, I'm never in the sun because I can't deal with the heat lol
It's seems that when i push on it to check the circulation, the white doesn't appear and rush back to normal color. The white actually doesn't appear at all. Sounds more like circulation.

Baby could be sitting on some nerves, it definitely looks like a circulation issue.
