People keep saying to me that in the 2nd trimester my skin will feel amazing, my hair will be beautiful and soft, i will be glowing.. i couldn't feel more opposite! Hair greasier than a chip pan, skin is so so dry and i couldn't feel more like 💩 if i tried! Surely someone else is in the same boat as me? 😂

I'm in the same boat, 13+2 face is covered in acne, feel like crap and not a glow in sight. Iv also got terrible hip pain! I feel like 39 going on 69 lol

It'll all be worth it tho ☺️

I'm at 17 weeks and still feel and look like shit. Yey!

15+2 (not so) patiently waiting for 'the glow'.... currently my hair is brittle and snapping and my neck and jaw are covered in acne. It's awful.

26w feel and look like shit also

13+6 Dave full of acne and u comfortable most of the time. I did poop today though so that's a win! I was really down about the acne for a while as it's been bad but I'm trying a more positive outlook now as I had struggled with ttc etc and so now I think the worse I look and feel the more I'm giving my baby 🤷🏽‍♀️ it's not forever girls hang in there. I also think it's brilliant that now people know they keep telling me how amazing I look, which is a big fat lie but bless them for trying to make me feel good 🤣

Nope didnt happen to me either. I looked awful the whole way through, 36 weeks and still look awful

Still waiting for my glow and my son is 4 years old! 13 weeks again now and it’s not happened yet....

It's hard to feel like you're glowing when you are starting to waddle! Or at least I am!

I've had unbelievably greasy hair my whole life and it's only cleared up just now in pregnancy. I'd rather have it in pregnancy and not the rest of the time if it's any consolation. Not looking to it all falling out at the end AND going back to greasy. Maybe I'll wear lots of hats 😂

My whole body feels tired. My hair and skin are dry. I've got strong nails but that's it. I've constantly got cold symptoms. I didn't really have people around me telling me how great the second trimester was going to be though.
