Third trimester, face getting fat. :(

I didn't notice it until my mom pointed it out. Now I'm constantly looking in the mirror it isn't a little fatter....it's not painful or anything. Anyone else face fatter??

Yep, pretty typical. Water retention, even in the face,
very common in pregnancy.

Aren't moms the best? Always pointing out your flaws? It's exhausting. Anyway, the face is the first to show if you've gained or lost weight. Don't worry too hard. If you're just now starting to notice "face fat" and you're in your 3rd trimester, consider yourself lucky.
