I've been getting these knot like bumps on my legs in places that I know I haven't bumped or anything. They aren't very painful, just a little sore when bumped like an old bruise. I have gotten them with my previous pregnancies but never thought much about it but there are more this time. Has anyone experienced this before? I have an appointment Tuesday and plan on bringing it up then but I was curious if any of you have had this!

Like varicose veins?

@2littlepumpkins: definitely not varicose veins. They're just like the bumps you get if you ran your leg into something. But they're all over my calves. They don't itch or hurt other than slightly sore when you put pressure on them.

Are they warm to touch at all?
ETA maybe Erythema Nodosum? -
I'm not and expert, but I would be concerned about blood clots. Is it both legs? If anything is warm to the touch I would call your doctor's emergency line.

@pinkb: @macintosh: nope they've never been warm to the touch. And yes, both legs.
This is my fourth pregnancy, I had them checked out with my first before I knew I was pregnant and they were planning on doing a biopsy but I had a family emergency I had to travel for and by the time I got back they were gone so we never got an answer.
I didn't even think about it being pregnancy related until my my last pregnancy but I never remembered to bring it up.
