I've always had a couple on my chest, but since being pregnant have quite a few more on my chest and tummy. No idea why!!
I've shown the doc before and she didn't have any brilliant solutions either...]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2006 14:23:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87993&title=pinpricks#87993 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87731&title=pinpricks#87731 Author: Bombshell

i had some after i had lost weight (27 kilos that time) so no stretching there. My blood pressure is pretty good - not high. I do think it is a deficiency of some kind for me...mine basically go from pelvic area up to chest area...but can mainly only be seen from close up]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:49:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87731&title=pinpricks#87731 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87681&title=pinpricks#87681 Author: busymum

I wonder if it's to do with stretching then? Do you think so?]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 08:31:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87681&title=pinpricks#87681 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87655&title=pinpricks#87655 Author: Redbedrock

I seem to have them too, all over really but particularly on my arms and chest at the moment. Being as lax as I usually am I put them down to being pregnant though so can't be more helpful than that. Probably should ask next time i see Midwife. My BP is normal (100/60) and I still have them]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 21:03:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87655&title=pinpricks#87655 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87647&title=pinpricks#87647 Author: Bombshell

i have those and had some before i was pregnant too...they are like little red dots under the skin spread all over my tummy mainly...we never found out what they were...doc had no idea...mum suggested skurvy - but i think that was just to make me eat my veges (i hate them!) ...but having said that i think it could be due to a deficiency in my diet due to not eating greens etc....
while they are doing nothing i have just left them alone...they dont break the skin or anything and eithr disappear or more form...]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 20:46:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87647&title=pinpricks#87647 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87634&title=pinpricks#87634 Author: busymum

Hmmm I haven't had high blood pressure all pregnancy (actually ever), I thought it might have something to do with extra blood flow being pregnant (32 wks)? Stacey, I guess it does look a bit like that, a little like lovebites but they are all scattered like pimples do, no clusters.

Baysmum I'm embarrassed to say that I have only shaved that far about 5 times ever! *blush* certainly not recently - it's not as ugly as it sounds, I simply don't grow hair above my knees.]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:40:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87634&title=pinpricks#87634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87629&title=pinpricks#87629 Author: ellabellame

my friend had that when she was pregnant, she also had quite high blood pressure so her midwife got her into the hospital and monitored the baby for a while but everything was fine. i'd definitely ask your mw about it, it's probably nothing, but better safe than sorry.]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:09:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87629&title=pinpricks#87629 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87611&title=pinpricks#87611 Author: kebakat

I've had that before.. if I get a whole bunch in the same general area it's usually that my skin has been under stress, enough for a tiny blood vessel to burst but not enough to cause a proper bruise]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 16:10:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87611&title=pinpricks#87611 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87608&title=pinpricks#87608 Author: BaAsKa

I have just noticed a whole lot of little pin-prick size red dots on my thighs. Kinda looks like someone has pricked me all over with a pin and that's the leavings - but the skin isn't actually pierced. I can see little dots of blood through my skin. Anyone else had this? What are they all about????]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 15:52:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4531&PID=87605&title=pinpricks#87605
