pregnancy mask?

Has anyone else gotten this? I have two light brown patches, one on the top of each cheek.
It's from sun exposure. Apparently pregnancy hormones can cause this. I was told it will go away after birth, when my hormones level out. It's so ugly! And I don't wear make-up so I can't cover it up. No more sun for me this summer. I was pregnant once before during the summer but my red-headed daughter was only a year old so I didn't spend much time in the sun. I figured she'd be a crispy critter. LOL.

Oh..hahaha my husband shaves my bikini area and more LOL. Yes he does it because I can't see and am too lazy to step in front of the mirror to do it myself.

I haven't had to shave my bikini area in over a year and now that I can't reach or really see I have to shave. My underarms aren't as bad just partially grew back.

YES! I am sooooo hairy! LOL. I was this way with my other babies too but it is annoying! Thankfully it's white and thin but....yuck!

These patches are lighter in color than freckles, but big. About the size of quarters and not round. UGH. I googled pics and they could be a lot worse.

I haven't noticed it. I did notice I have a ton of freckles on my face! I had photo-facials done last year to remove them. Uggh all that money down the drain because pregnancy hormones made my hair grow back also that I had removed with laser treatments.
