what pregnancy glow?

You always hear on tv and movies that someone has that pregnancy glow...when does that happen?  Lol all I have experienced is acne, exhaustion and irritability!  I feel like ive lost myself..Ive lost interest in sex and am too tired to do anything. I can sense my husband is getting frustrated, this is our first baby and I just keep telling myself things will get better.  My sister told me to try yoga, has anyone tried it and does it actually help boost your mood?

On my first pregnancy, I had a co-worker tell me I had a pregnancy glow. Made me feel radiant. No Lie, less than 5 min later another co-worker told me to wipe my face goes it was shiny (oily). Can't win.

Pregnancy definitely has it's highs and lows. The symptoms you are describing sound pretty typical.  I think the energy burst come later... Getting involved in a pregnancy fitness group sounds like I could help. If work and a 2 year old didn't keep me busy enough I would love to do something like that!

I hear ya girly, is my first one too and i am paranoid like crazy....even when i get a rash i freak out ....n now that we found out we r having a lil one is a lot of pressure, at least for me. I have no energy after work....but i make myself get up n hit the gym... I do zumba and pound ....i have so much fun in the classes with my zumba diva girls and it helps u stay active thru the pregnancy.  I am 7 weeks 3 days and still going strong. I will start yoga sometime next week. I do take naps after work before the gym lol
