Blue lips??

So I've noticed a couple of times that my lips have been blue.  The only times I've noticed this is when I'm in the bathroom getting ready 4 bed so I thought it was maybe just the lighting in my bathroom.  Well my brother came 2 visit over the weekend and while we were in the kitchen he pointed out that my lips were blue.  So apparently it's not just the lighting in my bathroom.  I've read that anemia during pregnancy can cause blue lips which I do have, but the last time the doctors checked my levels they were normal so it's now controlled.  I have a doctors appointment Friday and will definitely bring it up 2 them, but was curious as 2 what anyone thought!?  37 weeks

They still need to monitor u when ur lips are blue its a sign of oxygen being low n thats nothing to play with u could stop breathing just cause ur not blue now doesnt mean ur levels arent low just get checked better to be safe

Omg girl I read your post last night but didn't comment, as I'm not really sure what to tell you.  I was worried about you all night I couldn't sleep just thinking/ hoping you'd be ok.  I'm glad to hear you're doing well.  I feel at ease now.  Don't hesitate to go get checked if anything.  Please take care! :)
