What changes have you noticed since getting pregnant?

For me my greasy oil slick skin has totally dried up (bit too much in some places) and it’s great . My skin has never looked so healthy and I don’t get spots anymore.
I’m only washing my hair twice a week compared to every day beforehand (or twice if was going out after work)
I don’t sweat as much either, it’s like I finally finished puberty at 36!
I’m not looking forward to going back to being a greasy spotty mess. Sad

I was thinking back to the things that nobody had ever told me to expect like that brown stripe that appears running from your navel downwards.

The hair on my legs became finer and didn't grow as quickly but the hair on my head was so thick! not great when I have naturally thick hair anyway

Belly hair!

Exactly the same as you OP, plus much slower hair growth with body hair. I feel dreadful when I'm pregnant but I look the best I've ever looked! I got pregnant within four months of giving birth last time and I'm sure part of the motivation was to look good again Grin (that's a joke obviously). My skin went awful after giving birth, my hair fell out, body hair grew at a million miles per hour....sigh. Not looking forward to all that again.

I've noticed very little - I don't even feel pregnant and I'm 6mths.
But my skin is definitely drier which is crap as my skin was already constantly parched. I have way more belly hair too Blush.
