Anyone pregnant have this...

I have had brown-ish freckles that almost look like a mask around my eye area. At first I didn't see them but usually after I get out of the shower in the morning I've been noticing them the most. I try to hide them with make-up and that seems to be working. I hope they fade after pregnancy!!!

I don't but it has a name (not sure what the technical term is) I think it goes away after pregnancy. Do a search for the 'mask of pregnancy' on amazing pregnancy.com or any preggo website.

I had this a little bit. Some freckle-like spots on my face (near eyes, cheeks). Nothing too noticable but I could definately notice it! It went away after the baby was born. Its funny, I didn't even remember having them until I read your post. The doctors and other informational pregnancy websites say that the 'pregnancy mask' is more common with women who have dark hair and/or darker skin pigmentation.

its called melasma. i have it (not pregnant though) and have been using bleaching cream to get rid of it. it has worked very well. it is due to the pregnancy hormones- i have it due to hormones from bc pills. it is much much worse when i am out in the sun- i'm super careful about sunblock now.

I dont have it, but I just recently got this pregnancy calendar and read about it, they described as a mask as well...
