I read in my baby book you can get like a mask on your face the realst of your fave can get darker leaving like an eye mask shape much lighter! But they said it normally goes away after the baby is born. Also change in skin tone, uneven skin tone is normal in pregnancy but normally corrects its sslf after you have had the baby!

I started getting a dark line above and below belly button, and above and around nipple areas. My belly also has some dark tones mixed with my light skin complexion. I've read that its normal and should go away after baby is born.

Both of my pregnancies I've gottent the linea nigra, the dark line that goes from my belly button down. This time I'm getting uneven skin on my face. Like it looks splotchy and redder in some spots. It may be because my skin is soooo dry right now though. I also had melasma on my face in a small spot before pregnancy and I'm wondering if when it gets hot and I'm in the sun if it will get worse. Are u having skin changes?

I've never had it happen but have heard it's pretty common. They even have a name for it but I don't remember what. I'm sure you could Google it and find out more.
