Just a quick question. My daughter is 4
months pregnant, and she has been on her
feet allllllllllll day today at work.
She is saying that her upper legs and
tummy are blue, and she if a mess. I
told her to get on the sofa with her legs
elevated for awhile. Is there something
I am missing?

Replying to "legs Are Blue" Posted: 12-27-03 09:58am
Tell your daughter to sit on the floor
with her legs out in front of her. Hold
up one leg (kind of a "v" formation) and
rotate her foot 5 times each way for a
minute or so. Do the same to the other
leg. This helps get the blood flowing a
little better. Also just try to keep her
feet elevated as much a possible.
Something I also like to do is sit in my
shower and just let the water run on my
belly. It's very relaxing and if she
likes the rain she'll love this idea!
Hope I could help.

oh
boy ~ here's a good laugh for
everyone.
I taught lamaze for 18 years, so this
issue of blue was rather strange.
But......Not seeing it, and just hearing
her tell me that they are blue from her
knees up,,,,,,,,,well........I was
baffled.
Seems santa brought her a pair of charcoal
grey slacks for christmas. I even
mentioned if she was wearing something
navy......"no mom,,,,,,dark grey"~ so
she got an early ticket to bed which she
needed.
Well, it is all off with a little
soap...................
so all is well folks~~ another panic
attack from a pregnant mom mended by time
and little sleep...
