Mommy-chameleon!

Wanna know something amazing? Nine out of ten pregnant women change the shade of their skin! Look closely at yourself. You might notice that some areas of your skin have developed a swarthy hue or developed dark spots and streaks. That’s the melanin in your skin acting up due to changes in the functioning of your adrenal glands. During this period, these glands produce more hormones (mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids) that regulate the formation of the brown pigment in your skin.
