cheetah skin??

[NewMama2012]

I'm 14 weeks 2days and my skin on my neck to just a little above my belly button is discolored. To me it almost resembles a cheetah-like print,its in splotches. I hear it's a part of pregnancy but ppl I've asked say they heard about it but never saw it in person, I'm wondering if anyone has any info on this.

I have that on the bottom of my feet. It's weird, but I never really paid much attention to it if it was normal or not.

I really hope it does go away.and I hope it doesn't go to my face either but other than that my pregnancy is going smoothly I recently heard the heartbeat for the first time and it was good and strong :-) and I will definitely be using sun screen!

It's called chloasma or pregnancy mask and usually goes away shortly after giving birth. Not sure what causes it or why some women get it while others don't, but doctors say the blotchiness can intensify from sun exposure. Sun screen is your best defense. Hope your pregnancy has been easygoing otherwise!

Hello,
Well, im in the same situation, but I have those cheetah-like print on my hands, but hopefully they don't go to my face. My mom said it's normal during pregnancy.

It's normal but sometimes it doesn't go away :(
