Do pregnant women seem to have a healthy glow?

Nah, that’s just them sweating from lugging a kid and cart around while pregnant and grocery shopping lol.

My missus certainly did, although there was one small downside. Her mood swings made her as unpredictable as a gorilla with a rubiks cube….what the hell’s gonna happen next?

My wife had the same response and it was very noticeable.

A lot of pregnant women look hotter. I’m sure there’s some evolutionary explanation for this.

I think it all depends on if they are happy about being pregnant, get enough sleep, eat right and take care of themselves. I personally had no more sicknesses, no mood swings and only started feeling more tired during my third trimesters. I was a very happy pregnant woman : )

An unhappy pregnant woman looks like death warmed over : ( (it’s so sad to that)

Some do and some don’t. It depends how the pregnancy affects them; whether they have nausea or pain.

The “glow” is typically associated with the increased blood flow in maternal circulation (⅓ extra).

Yes. Especially if they tend to have dry skin and are very thin, pregnancy gives them a more youthful healthy appearance.

Some pregnant women get terrible acne and feel like shit for 9 months.

Thanks for that note of optimism, @nikipedia ;-)

I felt like shit and I glowed.

I think it’s a combination of the hormones, the blood flow & the weight gain. I had almost no wrinkles ;) during my entire pregnancy.

My hair was thicker and fuller, as was my face.

The glow comes to most women [read the above blood flow answer].
