Skin become 2 shades darker after pregnancy

Hi mummies, does anyone experience generalised darker skin tone after pregnancy? I’m in my first trimester 7-8weeks but I notice my skin tone has gone 2 shades darker at least. And it makes me look yellow and dirty with that skin tone, is it something concerning?

Hey mum! What you're experiencing sounds like melasma, it's super common in pregnancy, caused by those hormonal changes ramping up your melanin production. The good news is it often fades after delivery, though for some mums it takes a few months. Someone in my mum group mentioned hers improved significantly once she was out of the postpartum phase, so it's usually not permanent even if it feels scary right now. For now, sunscreen really is your best friend, a high SPF daily will help slow it down and stop it from getting darker. Some mums swear by mineral or physical sunscreens rather than chemical ones during pregnancy, just to be extra safe. The yellowish tone should even out once hormones settle, but it's definitely worth mentioning to your gynae at your next visit so they can confirm it's just melasma and rule out anything else. Take care!

first time mummy

so recently i check my own test, there was a faint line but i wasnt really sure if i was really pregnant. but then as time goes on, im having alot of the symptoms & changes. im feeling more fatigue & sleeping more than i usually do, food aversions, being more bloated than i usually do, & my tummy is getting bigger which weird because my weight isnt gaining. however, i went to both gp & poly to check for urine & blood, both is negative. im worried & dont know what to do anymore. any mummys out there have the same experience? or can help out?

Hi! Sorry I don't have such experience but maybe you should consider going to A&E straight to get it checked?

Ooh this sounds like a great group to join! I was in a similar birth month community when I was pregnant with my first and honestly it made such a difference knowing there were other mums going through the exact same thing at the exact same time. Everyone gets what you're dealing with without having to explain, and the tips and reassurance from people who are literally at the same stage as you is so much more relevant than generic advice. Definitely jump in and introduce yourself!
