You are talking about melasma, the "mask of pregnancy" . It can appear anytime during gestation and last several months after delivery. It pays no regard to age, size, or ethnicity. The cause? Hormones!

"Gestation" just takes all the romance out of it. :)

You wouldn't beleive the weird stuff that can happen to your body after pregnancy! I speak from expereince too. Freaky weird.

Check out babycenter.com. I guarantee you'll find loads of great stuff on the the pre and post baby state. I refer to this site every time my kid sniffles.

They had a wonderful tracker that told me everything about my baby's development while pregnant, as well as stuff about my body post pregnancy. It's been a wonderful resource and has saved me many hypochondriac trips to the doctor. Most things aren't as bad as we think they are.

Is it ok to get brown spots in your face during and after pregnancy.

I'm not a doctor, but a little research has shown this is not uncommon.
