Did you have a boy or girl?

It exists I literally found out 3 days ago that I'm pregnant and before that my man has been gushing at how beautiful i look...my colleage literally said I was glowing she doesn't know I'm pregnant yet

I would say yes the increased blood pressure and slightly higher body tempature will make a woman with fair skin have more of a reddish tone along with swelling around normally skinny parts of your body.

A guy at work told me I was glowing I’m like I look the same lol. He didn’t even know I was pregnant.

How early does this happen? This feels like a myth busters test. Have 200 women half not pregnant and the other newly pregnant. Can you tell just by sight?

Mine has started at 4 weeks both pregnancies 🤣

[@beautifulthingsonyoureways5940]

I’m not getting any glow

[@Juanafig78721]

I normally have acne but both pregnancies my skin has become sensitive and my usual acne products irritate me. In fact, I don’t even need acne treatments anymore.
