My Nails are purple...and im pregnant?

It's probably normal pregnancy swelling, but you might call your doctor just to be safe. It NEVER hurts to call your caregiver. That's why you pay him/her!!!!! Sometimes people worry about ';bothering'; the doctor or midwife. IT'S THEIR JOB! If you have a concern, never hesitate to call.





A certain amount of edema (swelling) is normal in the ankles and feet during pregnancy. You may also have some mild swelling in your hands. However, call your midwife or doctor if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. It could be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition. Also call your caregiver if you notice that one leg is significantly more swollen than the other, especially if you have any pain or tenderness in your calf or thigh.My Nails are purple...and im pregnant?
No, this is not normal. Are you ankles swollen too. (I hope not.) The purple color in your fingers are an indication of lack of oxygen. The swelling is associated with excessive blood pressure. You need to see a doctor.





I'm afraid you may have preeclampsia. That could be very serious. You need help NOW. This could kill you.

You might be dead.
Please make an emergency appointment with a doctor or get down to the emergency room. If you have high blood pressure it is very very very serious during pregnancy.
I'm 36 weeks and have never heard of anything like that. I would definitely call your doctor.
you should get it check out by your doctor
When pregnant a woman's circulatory system takes on alot more than its used to. By your hands being swollen it sounds like your retaining water. I would talk to your Ob/Gyn!
High blood pressure. Get your a$$ to the doctor right away.
