10-12-2009 - pregnacy glow what pregnacy glow?

My mood while writing this blog: minging

---

Well ladies that is me now 16 weeks and 5 days and as of yet the pregnacy glow has made no attempt to even try and apear. Every time i look in the mirror it gets worse, there is either a new spot or my skin is dry or my hair is a mess and it doesn't matter what i do it doesn't change.

I thought you were meant to start looking amazing in the second trimester? you know the amazing hair, strong nails skin like a babies behind well thats what everyone told me but where oh where is this for me. I know it will all get the best thing in the world at the end of all this but is there really any need to make mum feel this rough?

Right so course of action is, this weekend i have a long weekend i'm going to get my hair cut into something amazing (much to DH horror he hate short hair on me) i'm going to get my eyebrows tamed on saturday cause i cant pluck them it is way to sore now i used to do them but i start crying at the thought of it so one scream and it will be over, followed by a face mask and present wrapping on saturday afternoon and then a long hot soak in the bath and i think after that i might treat DH and myself to dinner. MMMMMMMMMM bring on 5:30 tonight when my weekend can start.

I hear you Maz! My hair is SO dry it's ridiculous, my skin is itchy and I normally have beautiful skin and complexion and this pregnancy I have horrible break outs! It's a disaster! I agree with YummyMummy though all of this must mean that we are having girls!

Awwww Maz, don't feel too bad - have a little watch of Jezza tomorrow - I bet you a tenner you look better than any of the preggo birds on there and they've done themselves up to go on the telly!!!! Just have a think about that - then try not to smile ;] You'll look and feel fab after tomorrows pluck and scrub, and if you don't have a hormonal fit, until they agree you don't need to pay x x x

mazie mazie mazie It will get better I promise!I think I started to look my best with Sully at 28 weeks and then all of a sudden the glow appeared. I had a nice haircut and would wear my fashonable prego pants with tall boots and I have to say I looked pretty hot!Your still run down from the transition as are the rest of us. Have a fabulous weekend Hun! Pamper yourself rotten. ;) Hormones suck!

I know exactly what you mean, it hasn't met me yet either, funnily enough I have had bad skin and crap hair too and I never had that with my first pregnancy with my boy, anyway went for a gender scan and I'm having a girl, I'm convinced crap hair, skin and wild hormones = girl lol so who knows.... :P x
