Any one else looking pale/ off colour

I was serving a regular customer the other morning, when he asked if I was ok? He also added that I looked awful!
My sister in law was over from London for the weekend and she apparently asked my mom if I was ok and that I looked very pale. My mom has me topping up my blusher every 5 minutes in case I scare the customers away( in a jokey way!)
I don't think I'm anemic as I'm not weak but admit meat is turning my stomach so maybe I'm not eating as much as I was. I'm not physically puking but do feel pretty nauseous throughout different stages of the day. Is it normal to be pale in the 1st trimester?
I'll be putting tan on Christmas Eve for definite now!

Re: Any one else looking pale/ off colour

  • I am really pale too, and I have more noticeable dark circles under my eyes. I wasn't sure if it was pregnancy related or just a side effect of winter. I have been sleeping fine, so I know it's not exhaustion.... who knows!
    Me: 27 DH: 29

  • I've also noticed that I am having to wear more makeup to look human! Thought maybe it was due to being tired?
  • I have had two people in the past few days tell me I look pale. I just keep thinking it's because I'm feeling fatigued.
  • I just look terrible. Usually I feel pretty good about my makeup free skin but my skin just looks dull and the circles under my eyes are terrible. I definitely do not have a nice pregnancy glow.
    Pregnancy Ticker

  • Yup! You're not alone.
  • At least I'm not alone!
    Hopefully we'll all get that glow in the 2nd trimester x
  • Same here! I figured it's from not sleeping well and the lack of healthy food I've been eating because most things sounds repulsive
  • I'm pale, and my lips are blue. So much for that "glow", huh? I assumed mine was from throwing up so much, but I'm also always low on energy. Sure that plays a part, too.
  • Yes:( not only do I look gross but I feel gross. 3 people have asked if I am okay this week. I think mine is from exhaustion (I have a 2 year old), nausea, sore breasts, emotional ALL THE TIME, and extreme irritability... I just can't hold it together to look good on the outside. Hopefully second trimester will bring out all of our pregnancy glow!!!

    Pretty sure all my "glow" is from sweat right now since I'm always nauseous
  • I have no glow........just gray.
