Re: Freckles
normally wen u r taking vitamins then shuld nt b this problm but i think dat u must consult with ur doc (regular)n then dermatologist...in pregnancy normal acne is very common but freckles could b iron defeciency (i heard).but i ll say must treat it now bcuz its very horrible problem.say ur doc to take ur blood tests(i dont know ur doc take ur monthly blood test regularly each month or not).it shows ur iron level,sugar level,n some more things to keep ratios balance(im telling u my experience in pregnancy).

put you picture up wearing that.
^ very funny! 
. At first I was all shy to wear it…but then I thought it is my face and if I get kali or freckles I will feel bad…so now I am ok about it.
I might have iron deficiency. What can I do to help that?
Also do I use yogurt now or right after delivery???
Any after delivery tips are welcome too. (what to eat/not eat, what will help keep energy level high, etc.)

Re: Freckles
yes u can use yogurt during pregency but don,t use any kind cream desi thing u can use eat alot of oranges during pregneney will help u
Freckles and melasma or "mask of pregnancy" are common in women that are pregnant. Some marks are temp while others tend to stay. Don't take iron supplements without consulting u're doctor.
it's definitely melasma. you can get some glycolic peels for surface exfoliation or use vitamin c ampules, but you can't use any hydroquinone products until after your pregnancy.
Ask your doc about Tri-Luma. It has hydroquinone to bleach spots combined with tretinoin and a mild steroid for deeper penetration. I am not sure if it's contraindicated while breastfeeding. I would ask your doc if there's any regimen you can start now so you can have a 'head start'.
Gina: I am eating apples. My brother in law told me that apples has a lot of iron in it. I probably won't take iron supplements until I get another blood test to make sure my iron is really low. Do u know of any home remedies that I can do right now??? Or should I just leave it alone?
Soni: I am not too fond of freckles and my husband doesn't like it either...I had like 1 or 2 before pregnancy and that was ok..but now I have it under my eyes...and I don't like it that much.
jalebi: I will talk to my doc about that...thanks for the info.
Sayyma: thanks for the info
Pyaari, beetroots and apples have alot of iron and so do all green leafy veggie's. Please cook u're food well and avoid cheese and undercooked meat.
Re: Freckles
