Frequently Asked Questions About Pregnancy 

Q:  My partner keeps telling me that my skin is glowing now that I’m pregnant. Is the ‘pregnant glow’ a myth?

A:  Your skin can change quite a bit during pregnancy, and a “glowing” appearance is not unusual. You are producing more blood than usual. More blood flowing through your blood vessels can mean more oil secretion from the glands in your skin, which sometimes results in fuller, glowing-looking skin!
