My face before pregnancy…

Pregnancy can change a lot about your body, your face, your skin, and your overall appearance! The good news is, it doesn’t last! And the even better news is that for a lot of women their appearance doesn’t change at all. But here are some ways that pregnancy can change your appearance…

1: your boobs get bigger!

This is the most common, and most commonly welcomed pregnancy appearance change! I love this part of pregnancy! 🤣 my bra size usually quadrupoles in pregnancy and I nor my husband is complaining.

2: pregnancy nose. Yes, this is actually a thing! Thankfully it’s one way my appearance hasn’t changed with any of my pregnancies.

3: varicose veins.

Quite normal, but again, thankfully something I’ve never had to deal with!

4: weight gain

This is my number one appearance related change during pregnancy! No matter how healthy I eat, or how much I work out my body naturally put on a lot of weight during pregnancy. I used to struggle with us a lot, but over the years and as I’ve had multiple pregnancies, I’ve grown to get used to it and know that it’s just a stage of life and nothing to be fearful of!

5: puffiness

Especially in the third trimester, you’ll find yourself getting coffee, and for many women in their hands and feet will also start getting swollen.

6: Linea nigra. This is where you have a dark line across your belly, which for me has happened twice out of my three full term pregnancies !

7: acne

I don’t normally get acne, but I definitely noticed that when my body goes through big hormonal changes, I will start having a few pimples popping up here and there! Usually a good skin care routine will help clear up my skin right away.

8: stretch marks.

I haven’t had a ton of stretch marks, but every pregnancy had a few more and I couldn’t quite honestly say this is probably the appearance change that bothers me the least! I do not find stretch marks ugly at all, on others, or myself.
