Did anyone else notice their face looking much fatter during pregnancy?!

[newmumtobe1998]

i didn’t notice much difference in my appearance until about 18-20 weeks and since then i feel like the weight gain has been a lot and my face is looking much fuller to the point I feel self conscious. Did anyone else experience this?

Yes, it's completely normal

Yes, my passport photo is of me 8 months pregnant and my face is much fatter than normal.

Yes! It happens way earlier than you think, I can always tell when a woman in work is pregnant just by looking at her face. 3 weeks later she makes an announcement. It’s quite funny really. (Obviously I say nothing!)

It can be normal but facial edema is also a sign of pre eclampsia so it’s worth a BP check and a chat with the midwife.

Yes completely normal so don’t worry

It’s the beautiful pregnancy bloom

I generally notice that people are pregnant by their faces.
