Feeling like this pregnancy is sapping any beauty I had left

This is my second pregnancy, and I don’t remember feeling this ugly the first time around. I felt bloated and tired with my first, but I genuinely feel like my face has changed with this second pregnancy. My skin has lost its glow, I’ve got red rings around my eyes, dark circles under my eyes, wrinkles everywhere, my lips are dry, etc. I look in the mirror and I don’t even recognize myself 🫣 I’m not sure what to do about it as I feel like it’s all completely out of my control. I hope after baby arrives and I “get my pink back” I’ll feel better. Anyone else feeling this way?

Same here. But I always remind myself that it’s because I’m sharing it with my baby. ❤️ it will come back.

I’ve had a girl, boy and now pregnant with another girl and these girl pregnancies have been brutal 😂 When I was pregnant with my son my hair was shiny, my skin was so clear, literally only gained weight on my bump, felt amazing. Pregnant with my girls and my skins been breaking out the whole time, hair is so limp and needs washing everyday, face is puffy and swollen, feel a lot bigger in general, nails breaking constantly, skin is dry and sore all over. I can’t wait to give birth and meet my baby but can’t wait to just feel like myself again, or at least start to. I know it’ll all be worth it but it really is hard to look in the mirror and not see yourself x

I really feel the same! I’ve heard if the baby is a girl they ‘steal your beauty’ but that’s not the case as my first pregnancy was a girl and I felt amazing! My hair grew so long and looked lovely and my skin was clear. This pregnancy, I’m having a boy and my hair is greasy and fluffy at the same time with no growth and my skin is breaking out! I also look in the mirror and my face looks different and don’t know why! I’ve put it down to being 3 years older this time around and extra exhausted having a toddler. Let’s hope we all get our pink back soon 💗
