Pregnancy Glow/soft Skin?
Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by in Q&A
Just wondering if anyone has come across anything saying that the pregnancy glow is actually from the mother’s body absorbing some things that make the baby have soft skin? I have noticed that my skin not only glows, but is baby soft the farther into pregnancy I get. Just wondering if the two are connected, and not just from my own hormones.
I don’t use any skin care products; no lotion, make-up, etc that would soften my skin…and only wash my face with water, so I know it’s nothing I put on my skin.
Thanks!

Nope, pregnancy glow is actually a combination of increased blood (causing cheeks to look rosy) and increased secretions from the oil glands which make your skin look waxy. The soft skin is probably just good luck on your part!
