Pregnancy can alter your features

A report by Fedhealth explains that pregnancy can bring noticeable changes to a woman’s appearance due to hormonal fluctuations, increased blood flow and fluid retention. Some women may experience a swollen or wider nose, a puffier face and changes in skin pigmentation, commonly known as the ‘pregnancy mask’. The report notes that these physical changes are often temporary and may gradually improve after childbirth, although every pregnancy is different.
