Red...purple!

I was taking a shower and my legs started to feel weird, a weak tingling feeling. So I looked down and my legs were bright red with purple veins running down them! I freaked! I got out of the shower as fast as I could to go lay down. My legs went right back to their normal whiteness quickly and I was ecstatic! I monitored just to be sure that the leg issue did not cause any contractions. I was fine only 4 contractions that hour (that's low for me at this point.).
This weekend was ruff with 2 monitoring at 8 contractions in an hour. I am now on double the medications that I was on before and it is not all fun. Sleeping seams to be evading me even when I use my lavender oil, I feel like my body is quivering and weak. No fun stuff.
I am going to try to do some leg exercises to help strengthen my legs and blood vessels. I can't do anything like squats, which is my go to exercise for legs. Even side leg lifts cause a contraction. So, I am left with laying on my side squeezing my calfs by lifting my foot up and down. It feels good to move my legs and feel the strength in them again. I am very careful to make sure my stomach is relaxed as I "workout." It is more important for me not to be contracting than to exercise. I hope it helps.
