Hi.

Circulatory abnormalities are common during pregnancy, but I would either way recommend a routine check like thyroid profile, RA factor, blood glucose profile, etc.

Please speak to your doctor about the presentation, and your doctor may request for a blood sample to help rule out a few conditions.

Best wishes.
