Melasma already?!

I'm 15w3d and I woke up yesterday morning to find the skin around my lips and chin to be darker than everything else. It's like I'm sporting a bronzer goatee! I've heard of the mask of pregnancy and was wondering if that's what this is. Has anyone else experienced this?

I get melasma with each of my pregnancies. Face, neck, chest, breasts, underarms, inner thighs, between legs, etc. I haven't got it yet, but I think I usually get it around 4 months.
Mine didn't fully fade, so I still have some discoloration.

Thanks for your response @anneof2! Have you found anything to help cover it up? I'm not a foundation wearer but I think I might have to invest in some to cover this five o'clock shadow!

How are you feeling by the way? I hope the rest has been helping.

I never did bother covering it up. I felt so miserable with my pregnancies that I just didn't care about it.

I'm feeling a bit better today, thank you for asking. Upped my dosage of Diclectin starting last night, and I haven't vomited today. At least not yet. Being in bed all day is making my insomnia worse though.
