Tiny red dots on tummy??? Pain sitting??

[julchen_79]

I noticed recently that I have tiny dots on my tummy. There is a few on each side. Thought maybe the massage brush I am using is too rough, so I stopped using it...the dots are still there. Did anyone else experience this? What is it??

I am also getting very sore sitting. It feels like this is my tale bone...will this only get worse from here? Or is it just a matter of my body adjusting to the little man inside??

That is so odd that you mention you are getting tiny red dots. I have been noticing that on my belly as well. Not many, just a few and they are not raised. Surface is flat and light red. Was not sure if it was pregnancy related or not but I notice them now that I have a belly. I was hoping they were not stretch mark related. I didn't notice them with my last two preg. Its very odd.

I am going to keep an eye on it and asked my Dr. next i go. Somewhere else I read it could be how stretchmarks start.

Oh no, I have these too!!! Mine are at the top of my tummy, and I wouldn't expect stretch marks there? xx

If they're not raised or itchy and disappear when you press a glass on them they're more than likely tiny burst capilliaries close to the surface. It's from having more blood and there being more pressure on your circulatory system.

As for the bum pain, your uterus puts pressure down on your anus from within which could explain it. Would still ask your doc about both of these things though.

Yup I have both of these, doc says nothing to worry about just all to do with pregnancy lovely eh. But if you have any concerns or need reassuring it's always best to speak to ya MW or GP! x

I thought these were how stretchmarks start? I had a couple which have now been replaced by lovey purple lines. Boohoo As for your tail bone, i suffered with that all the time before pregnancy...I think it's called your coxix (spelling?!) but I normally just sit on a cushion and it tends to help! xxx

Their common name is Pinprick Heamorrages. I have one on my forehead, and several on my arms, tummy, and one leg. They can be caused by two things. Firstly the excess blood in pregnancy, secondly the raised blood pressure of physical or mental stress and / or anxiety. I had most of mine from physical stress before I got pregnant due to how severe my epilepsy is. But now have a few more which are down to the increase in blood volume. They're harmless though x
