That pregnancy "glow"

[hannah9176]

Just wondering when it'll kick in and I'll look glam. So far I have a hairy belly, nipples like dinner plates, dandruff and bleeding gums. Please also share your experiences of pregnancy "glow" so far 😂

Extra long pubic hair. So chic.

Oh and my feet grew a size bigger. They were also glowing.

I got a bit of a glow when I broke some blood vessels in my face from throwing up. Does that count?

It's another myth

@SickOfThePig oh I burst one in my eye. Definitely a glow

@SummerHouse It's ok we won't be able to see our vaginal extensions soon won't be a problem for long

It’s sweat. It arrived mid second trimester with full on hot flushes and a need to be naked as much as possible.

Hairy belly, lower back, sides of neck - still waiting for that to go...

Nope it is true, to nice looked at a friend, looked a second time and she really was glowing, I actually said to her out loud instead just thought making it...
My god , I think your pregnant... She looked shocked and said. How on earth do you know that. She was 8 weeks , had found out that morning with a test.

I’m still waiting for it to appear!

I think I glowed for a couple of months while when pregnant with DC1, after the sickness finally stopped at about 20 weeks. I never looked or felt better in my life & had so much energy. Sadly it only lasted until I started looking & feeling like a whale.

I didn't get the glow at all with either DC2 or DC3, I was too flippin' exhausted.

The glow is the only bloody thing I do have (I have PCOS so pregnancy makes the facial hair and spots go away), but I lost my other symptoms last week and so am bricking it a bit for the scan next week.

My spots definitely have a radiant glow about them

My glow consists of a constant clammy skin (so I'm shiney) and hairline spots. Does that count 😂😂😂

People kept telling me I was glowing but it was just sweat due to being pregnant last summer which was crazily hot!! 😄

My glow is down to putting on make up every morning and keeping my hair nice...
Dh came home from work yesterday and was immediately worried about me when he saw my face, thinking I was really ill. Had to tell him it was actually just because I didn't put makeup on yesterday!

I am yet to be glowing lol I'm exhausted and face covered in spots 😂😂😂

I’ve developed bacne, dandruff, and all anyone has told me for the last months is how tired and pale I look. Also glad to hear I’m not the only one with a hairy belly at the moment...

Tired looking skin, lovely under eye bags, oily flat looking hair even after washing and intense snoring ☺️........ Oh I know he’s a lucky man 😂💁🏽‍♀️

Acne for the first time ever and boobs like the A to Z. Beautiful

If glowing is already having mastitis at 12 weeks pregnant, throwing up constantly and having major frizzy hair. I’ve got it down.
I’m grumpy and not very nice to know, to be honest.

Some strange rash on my legs which has come on in late pregnancy, spots on my chin and a permanent look of exhaustion - glowing

My pregnancy has been and gone, still waiting

Oh how i miss the hairy nipple/belly and spots that could give a teenager a run for their money.

I do actually miss my pregnancy boobs, got a taste of the high life for a little while.

I glowed, I think and I had, for the only time in my life, utterly fabulous bouncy, thick hair, which, weirdly kept a blowdry for far longer than usual, and didn't need much washing and I certainly got the eye on a semi-regular basis from total strangers on the street who apparently liked the look of a pregnant woman (who knew?).

But I hardly noticed any of that because of the heartburn. It was like having a crazed marmoset clawing up out of hot lava in my upper chest.

I only realised I was glowing after pregnancy when I looked back at the pictures.
