So I have noticed two very light brown spots, they look like birth marks expect lighter. Im on my firt trimester, is this normal ?? They appeared on my face??

It's also known as pregnancy mask and i have a very bad case of it. Especially around my eyes and forehead. My right eye the dark spot spreads all the way out near my cheek. I have it a lot worse now with my son than i did with my daughter

It isnt anything bad. Hormones make some moms skin change color, sometimes it gets really bad and sometimes it doesn't.

I have not been out in the sun in a huge while
Hope its nothing bad.

Skin  gets far more sensitive to sunlight during pregnancy so wear a high factor sun cream every day

Okay So I googled Melasma but the pictures thwy show are like covering a whole piece of skin, mine look exactly like a birthmark ??? Except lighter?? I guess you can say sorta like freckles but I only saw two :$

I started getting freckles on my face all because of the pregnancy they say..
