The Mask of Pregnancy

In an earlier post, I took exception to a description of chloasma, indignantly insisting that what was described made the woman look like a zombie (really, it made sense when I wrote it).


However, the wisdom of six weeks has revealed to me that the mask of pregnancy is not akin to a zombie, but rather more accurately described like this:




That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

  2. I also got the mask during my sixth pregnancy. My favorite comment was when my MIL, who hadn't seen me in a few weeks, exclaimed, "What happened to your face!"

  3. Oh thank you! It's not just me. ugh. I'm not sure that I have the official 'Mask', however, I'm ready to move this baby outta here and get back to normal. My skin (and let's me honest, facial hair too...*blah*)on my face has been up and down and all around this pregnancy. I just told hubby the other day that if this baby is not a boy and is filling me with testosterone, I'd be shocked!!

    I laughed at your picture, because that is seriously what I wished I had had to wear all week long this week!!! :)
