My body....

[TequilaMockingburd]

29 weeks, 45 years old and am obviously delighted to have come this far .... but:

I have hairs on my tummy- all over
My belly button has popped out and is an odd pigmented brown colour
I can’t see my feet let alone shave any bit of me
I have heartburn every minute of every day
And today was out of breath eating a bloody yoghurt!

When does the glowing bit happen?

Forgot to add have losingitis! Keys, bag, purse,DD, work pass.....marbles 😭

Ah. You are like me. Am 37 weeks into my second. I have not glowed once.
Sorry.

The glowing happens when you become a sweaty mess every time you move...

32 weeks, 29 years old and feel about 150. My pelvis is in bits, and I can't cough or sneeze without fear of wetting myself. Wondering why some people do this multiple times. Pregnancy is shit!!!!!

36weeks... the glow is just sweat between shits n vomits .. seriously not envy.
Haven’t started pee-sneezing yet but I’ve gone from inhaling laxatives to several bm’s a day (obviously ive not continued with the laxatives), not all of which have much warning.. hopefully this is the beginning of the end

I feel like I could have written this OP

I've not had the glowing stage yet and I'm 31 weeks

28 weeks and I have awful trapped wind today. 

May I add I have been doing the same poo for days... just a tiny wee bit at a time 😁

Tomorrow I shall glow.... I feel it’s coming

39 weeks here with Baby #2 still waiting on the glowing! Feel your points apart from the belly button!
My heartburn has been cured by Ranitadine...I wish I knew this month's ago!

Definitely get ranatidine for heartburn, I still get it but this helps loads.

I have hair on my belly, lower back and since a week ago also on the sides of my neck. Also skin tags! But my hair looks amazing and I have proper eyebrows for the first time which is great.

I do glow, because I’m sweating buckets having been a cold person all my life but the heat I radiate means I’m so hot I can’t sleep at night. It’s been a mixed bag and I’m due in a couple of days and riding mad Braxton Hicks and insomnia.

SO glad you've got the same belly button issue - mine looks gross and is all weird and brown. I've also got a weirdly wonky linea negra going on.

tummy is soooo hairy but I can't see to shave now.

33+3 here.
I suffered from HG up to about 22 weeks, hospitalised 3 times. Then all of a sudden at about 25 weeks, I had 2 weeks of absolute goddess GLOWING. My hair was amazing, my skin was perfect, I had to much energy, my sex drive was through the roof.

Then BAM back to reality, I'm now sat eating a bowl of pasta on the kitchen floor, wearing a Hulk Hogan t shirt at 2:30am.

Nice while it lasted...

I had a hairy tummy but was convinced it would all fall out after the birth but it didn’t so now I have to have it waxed
I never felt like I glowed but looking back at pictures I look so much better than I felt!

27 weeks and I just vomited up my dinner. Yesterday I threw up apple juice.

I was told there would be glow

36 weeks with the weird brown belly button. And areolas. And OMG, the skin tags! My chin hair is out of control, like a billy goat beard. It goes nicely with my unshaven Mr Tumnus legs and velociraptor toenails. The only thing that looks good is my hair and also the vast array of snacks I have squirrelled around the house.

I’ve had a closer look and can also disclose skin tags 😭WTAF! Under my arm... 3 of them..... I went on a tag hunt after all your replies. How utterly depressing!

Perhaps I may glow tomorrow .....

Glad im not the only one with a hairy belly, i thought that was abnormal as no one else mentions it, i hope it goes back to normal afterwards!?

Snap! 38 weeks with #2, yet to glow 😤

The worst of it is the texture of the hair on my head. I literally cannot get a brush through it unless I'm in the shower and it takes agessss. It's like matted fur 😭

I had a glossy mane with #1, this time I just look like Worzel Gummidge!!

Glad I clicked on this post!

23 Weeks and constantly giving myself a belly rub to try and push out the trapped wind that sounds like train horns.
Lots of new skin tags under my arms, I even went to doctors about one of them because I thought it was a third nipple.
The thought of even looking at a penis makes me want to cry so sorry DH, lets try again in 6 months.
Hungry ALL THE TIME, but stomach as shrunk so want to vomit after everything I eat!
Just want to lay naked at home, eating, farting and napping

A third nipple 🤣🤣🤣Brilliant!

Just want to lay naked at home, eating, farting and napping
Big mood!

I think the 'glow' thing is all a con. I'm 26 weeks and people have commented that I'm glowing, I think it's just a nicer comment for them to make than saying 'you're huge'

Amazing post and replies 😂

I’m 33 weeks and still waiting for my glow to arrive. I also wet myself every time I sneeze but I also laughed so hard a few weeks ago that I required a full on pants and trouser change.

Furry belly too and dark hairs have started sprouting from my boobs 🙈 and just to make myself that little bit more attractive I burp after anything I eat or drink and my snoring is so bed my partner has had to decamp to the spare bedroom on more than on occasion.

Sexyyyyy.

But do you fart when you walk? I do 😭 then cough or try squeak my shoe to distract.

Glowing my arse! 😁

25 weeks here with my third..

The glowing bit kicks in when they start school and u have a bit of time back :)
