Signs of pregnancy from facial expressions
Seeing signs of pregnancy from the face is possible, but it depends on many things. One of the influencing factors is gestational age. For more details, here's a summary from VOI, taken from various sources.
- Unusual Acne Appears
Acne turns out to be one of the signs of pregnancy. Its appearance is a bit unusual in some people. For example, acne grows in certain areas that have never or rarely happened before. Acne occurs due to hormonal changes.
- Black Spots Appear
The appearance of black spots on the face turns out to be a lot experienced by pregnant women. This phenomenon is known among the general public as the "mask of pregnancy", while the medical world is known as melasma and chloasma. These spots appear due to many factors, one of which is increased skin sensitivity.
- The Blood Vessels on the Face Are More Visible
During pregnancy, small blood vessels or capillaries will be visible in the facial area, especially around the cheeks. This is due to the pressure on the facial capillaries which is triggered by the emergence of the hormone estrogen during pregnancy.
- More Sensitive Facial Skin
During pregnancy, facial skin becomes more sensitive. This also triggers the appearance of stubborn acne. This condition will occur especially during early pregnancy. To minimize the impact, you can drink herbal medicine supported by a healthy lifestyle.
- Chubby Face
Dilation on the face occurs not so extreme. Dilation occurs due to the increase in the weight of pregnant women followed by a widening in the face. No wonder many pregnant women look chubby.
- Eyes Look Tired
Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and tiring things at the same time. It will be seen from the eyes that look tired. In addition, the eyes also look puffy because pregnant women are more sensitive and cry easily.
- Skin Color Change
Changes in skin color are very likely to occur in pregnant women. This is due to hormonal fluctuations, increased blood flow, increased oil production, and stretching of the skin.
- Dry lips
In early pregnancy, women will experience morning sickness to varying degrees. The impact can vary, one of which is dry lips because a lot of fluid is wasted when vomiting.
- Dry Facial Skin
Morning Sickness not only has an impact on dry lips, but even facial skin looks dull and dry. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women drink enough water and consume fruits and vegetables.
