Just putting on some make up as I'm getting ready for work. Looking in the mirror after just throwing up my pre natals... Wondering will I ever "glow" because I actually look like hell!

    I think the pregnant glow is a myth.

    Are you sweating from puking? You're glowing!

    FWIW, I got told all through my first pregnancy that I had that 'pregnant glow'. 

    (Shhhh... it was MAKEUP. I looked like shit.)
    maybe it's maybelline.

    My glow is on its way from Nordstrom in the form of the new Chanel Beiges powder. That's about the best I can muster.
    I'm convinced that TheBump is having a posthumous feud with Steve Jobs and you can't post siggys from Macs. 

    Cue Hormonal Rage.

    That's so funny...... It's like I have aged horribly I'm 14 1/2 weeks!!! Maybe I need to buy your kind of make up. Mines not agreeing with me lately!

    I think it was made up to make pregnant women feel good about having a parasite (or two or three, or however many) leeching off of them.

    I have no idea what the glow is supposed to look like. However I had a friend tell me on Sat I had the glow. It was 90+ degrees and we were at a pool pay, so I'm guessing "the glow" is a mixture of sweat and sunscreen.

    With my son my skin was beautiful I looked dewy and like I was wearing a little blush. That was six years ago. I still do and have looked like crap since finding out. My biggest gripe is the first I felt so pretty and this one not so much.

    With all things in life, I refer to Friends for answers. As Phoebe says so eloquently: "That's sweat. You throw up all morning, you'll have that glow, too"

    I still don't know what it is but ever since I started telling people I was preggers they all tell me that I'm glowing.  What ever it means I'm not sure because I feel like I just look like I have larger cheeks, and tiredness in my eyes.  But if they think I'm glowing I'll go with it...LOL

    We're supposed to glow? Crap. My body must've missed that memo.

    Though one of my coworkers actually did me this morning that I look "so much better" and "really good." I attribute that to the fact that (1) I actually got up and worked out this morning and (2) I actually took a little time to put myself together for once this morning (amazing what makeup and a straightening iron can accomplish).

    If by "glow" you mean turning a lovely shade of green every few hours then everyone is already "glowing".
