No glow

[Ashtong]

I'll be 9 weeks on Tuesday and we announced on Facebook that were pregnant like this

And I look so worn down and haggard in that picture I almost didn't post it! Lol anyone else look and feel like this? Mornings sickness has been bad, I'm not sleeping, and I just feel like crap in general. I'm so happy to be pregnant and I don't mean to complain! Lol I'm just waiting on my pretty "glow" to kick in

I think you look great!!! And your announcement is so cute!!

Honestly for me first tri is a total train wreck! I puke, my hair goes crazy, I'm pale etc. but then from about 18 weeks suddenly I look normal again (until about 30 when I'm the size of the moon and downright grumpy!!)

But the whole glowing business... I think it's a myth perpetuated by women who are done reproducing and cosmetic companies!! Conspiracy theory! Haha!

Hahaa that's true! I just want to look normal again! But thank you so much

You look great! I haven't announced my pregnancy on FB but certainly wouldn't do it with a picture of myself - I always look old and knackered these days ;-) I think it's a lovely way to do it though.

I had the glow around 20 weeks, cute bump, great hair and skin, obvious male attention... it lasted a few weeks and then disappeared as fast as it came. Now looking huge, haggard and frumpy!

I think you look beautiful in the picture and such a lovely way to announce your news
