why does it turn bluish color?

Question

why does the cervix and inner labia turn a blue-like color when pregnant? i was shaving down-there using a mirror and realized it looks bluish, (10 weeks preg.) I go to my first appointment tomorrow. I have a lot of discharge since I found out I was pregnant. I feel embarassed about it when I go tomorrow for my physical.

Answer 1

That is actually one of the signs doctors use to look for when they were trying to determine if a woman was pregnant before we started testing for HcG. Your body has added quite a bit of water volume to the blood and between the pressure of the swelling uterus on that area and the increase in blood volume, you get a bluing. Its no big deal, your doctor won't even be phased, if it bothers you ask your doctor and he/she will tell you just what I have (but they count more...lol).

Answer 2

It is the same for me. I am not a nurse or doctor, but I would think it would be related to hormones or blood flow to that area. Also can happen before menstruation. I notice it is that way before my periods and it happens during pregnancy. It is an educated guess though. Just as hormones give you a pregnancy glow it can give you some changes in other things as well. I know your hormone levels change before your periods and then when you get pregnant your hormone levels change as well. Sorry I couldn't be more help. If I find out for sure I will add more to this post.

I can't say for certain. But I know for a fact that blood volume increases while you are pregnant (up to 50%). That may be the cause of the color change. I am 32 weeks, and I haven't looked to see if mine has changed. But don't be embarrassed. I can, however, assure you that your doctor has seen this before.

Answer 4

Thats normal, trust me your doctor has seen more than you'll ever know or would want to know lol the bluish color i would guess is increased blood flow to the area. Im not sure everyones does.

Answer 5

You being a bluish color and the discharge is normal and your doctor wont think anything of it. Im sure he or she has seen worse. Good luck with your pregnancy

Answer 6

She says if her patient doesnt smell bad and knows how to bathe nothing else bothers her..

Answer 7

It's totally normal, and is most likely due to blood flow in that area. Don't be embarrassed about your body changes. Your doctor sees this everyday, and won't be surprised or concerned at all! Relax! Good luck, and congrats on your pregnancy!

Answer 8

blodd vessel diameter increases in size due to hormones of pregnancy so more blood flow. Also get venous pooling/congestions of blood in the area so things look bluish

Answer 9

became there any chemical substances lately placed on your backyard or on your soil for the flora? this manner of discoloration appears like what is going to be led to by a chemical being uncovered to the nails. If it became some thing ingested it would result the nail it really is hooked as a lot because the finger, no longer the top in effortless words.
