Brief Answer:
PLEASE GO TO THE ER.
Detailed Answer:
There is definite bruising on the nail beds.
It is highly indicative of peripheral vascular disease, which means that the end extremities are receiving less blood flow.
THis explains the numbness also.
The leg cramps too indicate this.
Yes, please go the ER and have an evaluation.
Also, kindly find out why you are a high risk pregnancy, the knowledge is important for your life and the well being of your baby.
Take care.
