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...

Well its true for some women just depends on the female. Many people say I have it & they'll say I'm so much lighter & glowing in the face. I guess it just depends. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized

Yes! Haha I've gotten dry skin....acne....bumps...rashes. NO glow. My skin was very good before pregnancy and now it is bad :( it's my little girl stealing my beauty as my doctor says! Lol. But yes, be EXTREMELY grateful you have no stretch marks. I'm getting ones everywhere :/ which is ridiculous cause I've actually LOST 15 lbs this pregnancy and I'm 29 weeks.
