I am currently 31 weeks pregnant. 4
weeks ago I noticed that after sitting for
awhile when I get up the bed of my right
thumb nail will turn dark blue! Just my
right hand. I told my obgyn about this
and she sent me to my cardiologist ( I
have mild mvp). There I had an echo
done, which came out fine, my blood and
pulmonary pressure were fine and my heart
did not appear to be under any stress.
So needless to say neither my cardio, nor
my obgyn know what is going on. I have
also had mly glucose checked just a few
weeks ago and it came out fine.
I have no other symptoms involved in this.
No pain or swelling of my right hand, no
numbness or tingling - just my thumb nail
turning blue for about 20 seconds to 1
minute.
I tend to notice this the most when I get
up from my desk after being seated for a
while to go to the restroom. When I wash
my hands (always in warm water) I notice
that my thumb nail is dark blue. It
seems to happen most when I am leaning
over a bit, as in washing my hands at the
sink.
Anybody have any advice or similar
experiences??
Thank you.

4 weeks ago she noticed her nail thing.
She still has 8 weeks to go on being
pregnant though.
I dont know about the nail thing, maybe
its just cause you slammed it in
something? I dont think it has anything
to do with being pg though.
