pregnancy induced skin tags?

I thought by now the worst was over. But here I am unable to sleep with awful reflux, AND realized I have two skin tags. Where did they come from? Can pregnancy bring them on? Anyone else have any?

    My sister got plenty of skin tags during each of her pregnancies. Our research shows that it's totaly normal, due to hormonal fluctuations. These will either fall off after you give birth, or you can have them frozen off. My sis removes them herself, but she's braver than me!

    I've gotten a bunch as well. They are very small, but annoying to me. Boo!

    Yep. Definitely a normal pregnancy thing. I have gotten 2 so far that I can see.

    A good amount of them have cropped up for me since I've been pregnant.

    I had one that had popped up on my shoulder and I was scratching an itch the other day and it came off on its own (well, you know what I mean).  Didn't hurt or anything.  I haven't noticed any more, but if I get any that don't come off, I'll have them removed.

    I've had them pretty much since 2nd tri on my neck. They are kind of annoying but easy to hide and my MW says it's completely normal that some women get them.

    I developed one on my face...of course...it is under my eye and everyone thinks it is a tiny little mole when they see me. I am having it taken off once I have Kinsley. I don't trust doing it myself and scarring my face Tongue Tied

    I've had a few. The worst was right next to my nipple. Did a total freak out and showed my OB. She said as long as it didn't go a funky color it was ok. It fell off after several weeks.
