Weird things happening

Anyone else have weird skin or body things happen after baby?

I just got my eyebrows waxed (like I've done for years, but it's been a while) and my eyelids and above totally swelled. They also itch like a mutha. So strange.

    This.  It happened after my son too but eventually went back to normal.

    I can't wait for the shedding.  My hair should start falling out in fistfulls shortly if last time repeats.


    Ugh me too. It's been driving me crazy the dry feet. I had to put towels on my recliner because of the way it felt :(
  • I've started to break out on my face, coukd also be from poor sleep ;) I also have little bumps on the triceps of my arms.

  • The shedding doesn't bother me (other than the fact it scared me last time, I was not prepared for it to look like a small rat in the shower when I got out) but the regrowth sucks. I cut my hair to hopefully help disguise the regrowth that is still very short from DS1.

    Congrats to my GP Sister from another mister Bruinsbabe!!

  • I have way more acne. It is not a ton but there is consistently some on my face, I did not have this before :/ And ditto on the dry feet, I am wearing sandals a lot now too which probably isn't helping.
  • My hair is falling out a lot more and my skin is more sensitive too, like leaves a bright red mark on my face if I scratched an itch there which is annoying. And my hair is growing a lot slower than when I was pregnant but that's a good thing! Don't have to shave so often

    I have these stupid little bumps on one of my knees and on both triceps.  Kinda like zits but not.

  • Oh and I forgot to add pregnancy mask (dark spots on my face) not going away. It lightened, but I can still very much see it.
  • My hair doesn't curl like it used to since I've had DD1

  • My hair is falling out in ridiculous amounts. My face looks like a greasy, teenage boy. The body odor is insane.

    I skipped a shower one day and developed some serious stank. Even my clothes and sheets became disgusting. I've never been so grossed out by myself.

    I have eczema type rash on my shoulder, never had that before. Agreed with the stink. I might have to change deodorant.
  • My hair is so dull and lifeless. It looked great while pregnant and it's changed completely. And I have way more grey hairs. :(

    I've used 3 different kinds. Don't work :( some days even showering and scrubbing don't work either. I think to were all more sensitive to the smell. Dh "says" he can't smell me

    I just read that my Secret clinical is supposed to be applied at night. This confuses me. Won't my morning shower wash it off? I'm willing to try it, though. 
  • Add me to the stank list. Ick.

    I also had an allergic reaction to the sun last week for the first time in my 33 years of existence.

  • I can relate to so many if your posts and I'm not sure if I feel better since I'm not alone in this, or badly for all if us :/
  • My arm pit hair doesn't seem to want to grow back since i last shaved it....I actually don't even remember when the last time I shaved it was....wierd.  
  • Ditto the dry, cracked heels. But for real the hair falling out is alarming! I thought it was due to my thyroid going out of whack during and after pregnancy, but maybe it's a common thing. I would say though if the hair loss continues, consider having your thyroid levels checked as this can be associated with a thyroid imbalance as is dry skin.
  • Breaking out on my head like crazy. Nowhere else but my head so I can be thankful for that!

  • Ingrown toenails for the first time when pregnant. I just got one again.
