Pregnancy glow my a**..

So my whole life I've been told that pregnant women get a "pregnancy glow".. I was excited for this when I found out I was pregnant. However, all I got was dry skin!!! Mainly on my face around my nose! It's SO annoying. I have tried everything and it just won't go away... But on the bright side, I do look good pregnant and at 39 weeks I have no stretch marks. So can't complain I guess...

I think the only people that get that glow are the ones pregnant with boys! I didn't get blessed with the "glow" either! My skin was good before pregnancy, now its breaking out left and right. My hair and skin have gotten so oily and nasty, I have stretch marks, and I look swollen and nasty. But everyone will tell you that you have the glow and how good you look.

For the dry skin try a goos moisturizer. I use the moisturizing lotion from clinique and it helps a lot with my dried face.
