Where's my glow?!

ckettenb

Hello ladies - this is my first time posting on this board.  I am 8 weeks along as of today.  (wow!) 

So anyway - this is my first pregnancy, and, well, so far, I am decided NOT glowing.  I thought I was supposed to glow while pregnant!  Instead, I'm constantly queasy, and I have bags under my eyes from not sleeping (nausea and peeing keep me up at night - booooo!) and my skin looks at pasty.  Blah.  Am I alone here?  Please tell me the the glow kicks in at some point...

No glow here either... just a face full of acne. ugh!

The glow doesn't happen until the 2nd tri.  The first tri is full of queesy feelings and heavy eyelids.

The glow doesn't happen until later and it isn't as glamorous as it sounds.  You do get some flushing of the cheeks, but your face starts to take on a waxy sheen.

Not really sure when the glow is supposed to kick in.. just be glad you don't have acne with all those other things. my skin hasn't looked this bad since i was 13

Is it considered "glow" even when it's a shade of green?  Because this has been me for 7weeks now:

Unless glow is the equivalent of the redness emnating from my astounding acne, there's no glow here either.  Best wishes for it to kick in for all of us...

ACNE for me

I actually have a glow. I've had several people tell me and I have noticed that my skin looks nice and rosy and clear. But I have decided that puking every morning and bursting all of the blood vessles in my face as I gag for 20 minutes is the reason for this change. And I am always hot now, hence the rosy look. But if I get too hot (like if I try to blow dry my hair, take a shower, walk quickly, etc...), I throw up. So don't be too anxious to start glowing.
