Q: Will it ever get better?!!?! ):

Ugh they say baby girls steal moms beauty and I'm starting to think it's true even though I'm hoping it's a boy!! My face is still horrible at 13w3d and my hair is dry and dull! Any tricks to make it better? Any moms find this 'old wives take' to be untrue?

I had it awful with both my boys I was always so angry when I heard people saying pregnant women glow cause I didnt at all. I looked like a train wreck and felt awful the entire time. The only time I truly "glowed" was with the baby i miscarried, I had perfect skin during the 7 weeks I was pregnant with that baby. I just think everyone reacts to hormones differently and it's got nothing to do with baby's gender.

I'm skin is absolutely horrendous and according to old wives tales I should be having a girl but I had a scan yesterday that confirmed that i am carrying a boy so I think I have proven them wrong. It's definitely a boy stealing my beauty lol. Good lick I hope you get the little boy you want xxx

I don't know if facials help much but from some other ladies suggestions it can't hurt and who doesn't like a good facial?!!

Jelly-bean- let me know what kind of cream your dr suggests and if it works I might have to ask mine for something like that soon! It wouldn't bother me as much but the pimples hurt!

Mrsamanda- I'm the same way all the old wives takes are saying girl but we are holding out hope there's a boy in there lol I'm wanting to try the gender predictor kit just to see what it says that's the only one I haven't tried..

Almost all of the old wives tales are pointing to GIRL for me right now. My husband is really wanting a BOY though. This will be our first, so I am not really hoping for one or the other more. I go between wanting a boy for my husband and not caring which I get. As long as baby is happy and healthy! Good luck though. I'd treat myself to a spa day, too! Just use the excuse I'm pregnant! :D

Totally an old wife's tale! My skin and hair were the most perfect when I was pregnant with my daughter! But I do agree...sometimes a nice hair treatment or facial can make you feel better!
