Bloated face!

I just found out in expecting baby number 3. I tend to bloat a lot in the face during my pregnancies. Is there a way to keep this in check?!

I'm the same, suddenly my face is huge although I haven't put that much weight on at 34 weeks. My diabetes test was negative but when I saw my consultant a few days ago she did another random blood test as she noticed how swollen I was....eek!

I'm 30 weeks and have received a few comments on my bloated face... like I needed a reminder! :( My nose is also bigger, how is that possible?! I have no idea if there's any way to keep this in check was just filing it away under 'Pregnancy Problems'!

Bigkicker, my nose grew loads with my last two pregnancies! It's awful.

Once I give birth, it seems to go down instantly..it must be water retention or something!

I honestly didn't know your nose could grow! I mentioned it to my mother tonight and she started laughing and said she had noticed mine was bigger!! I guess she's allowed laugh as she went through all these wonderful things when carrying me.
Good to know it goes back to normal afterwards.

I am 33 weeks and counting the days tbh, my dd told me I looked like Jabba the Hut.
