beauty

I've heard that being pregnant with a girl takes away your beauty , while being pregnant with a boy enhances it . Is this true ?

For me my face got really bad at the beginning and I was sick everyday for like three months, I'm having a girl!! But I had to find some good beauty products for my skin. Thank god for the yes to line!!!

My friend had a girl and her skin cleared up when she got pregnant, and she akways had a skin prob before.

I'm pregnant with a boy and already have a boy and a girl. My husband is one of those "you're more beautiful now than ever" when I'm pregnant, but in reality I've been pasty and pimply and icky haired every time, lol. I swear my nose gets bigger too!

The only old wives tale I believe is about heartburn lol. If you get a lot of heartburn your baby's gonna be born with a head full of hair.

Lol none of its true.. my friend had a boy 4 months ago and she broke out everywhere and gained a lot of weight in her face wasnt glowing at all.. and im having a boy any day and I have better skin then what I did before I got pregnant not even 1 pimple my whole pregnancy and everyone says im glowing haha and that I got so pretty... I don't see it at all lmao but whatever :P I just think all wives talls rnt true because every pregnancy is different and ur bodies all react differently

Wow ive never heard of this one. People say some of the craziest things! No it def doesnt take your beauty away. People constantly talk about how beautiful i am and dont say it always directly to me so know they arnt saying it to just be nice and i am preg with a girl. I looked the same with my boy too
