Pregnancy glow?

Hi all!A friend just told me her sibling said I "was glowing" when we had dinner last night. But she doesn't know I'm pregnant yet. Have you heard of this? What does the "pregnancy glow" look like? Interesting!

Thank you for your replies! No weight gain yet, but I'll take the former...That I'm just 'looking good'. :)

In my experience,  "pregnancy glow" is something kind people say because you're getting heavier and it's just a sweet thing to say,  rather than boy do you ever look like you're pregnant.  

My guess is,  your friend was trying to get you to say you are pregnant - so instead of saying "hey I'm thinking you're pregnant" she said the more neutral thing,  that is taken nicely and could just be a compliment.

So have you gained weight,  and maybe you passed on a beer or wine you normally would have ordered?

I apparently had the glow before I knew I was pregnant.  My dad could tell I had it. Everyone saw my stomach was more round but me. I was almost 6 weeks when I found out

Hah I've heard of it but never experienced it. Normally in the 2nd trimester when the nausea and vomiting subside. The 2nd trimester because in the 3rd all the swelling and aches and pains kick in. Your skin looking healthy your hair is full. Mine has been dried up and nasty looking this whole 1st trimester. This is baby #2 and my symptoms are way worse this time around.count yourself lucky if your glowing:-)
