posted May 28, 2005 09:25 AM                I am 33 weeks pregnant and have had a lot of trouble with blistering on my legs, something I only experience when pregnant. It usually starts out with innocent water blisters and turns infected and then I wind up on medication for it. I see it most when my legs are most swollen from the pregnancy. I expereicnced a lot of skin infections when I was little, but not as an adult. My question to those of you out there is have any of you moms had this same issue when pregnant and does anyone have any idea why it happens? I find it bothersome since it make it hard to be up and about, but with Keflex Rx its well controlled. Im just looking to see if its me or if others get it too. Thanks! IP: Logged
