    the iron tab is the culprit but don't worry it won't affect your or your child's complexion . the darkness will vanish once you give birth to your little " kanmani" don't worry about all such things always remain happy , eat nutritious food, listen pleasant music. and do little bit exercise like walking but if doctor has advised you rest please take necessary rest

    Your skin tone will come back to normal after delivery. I also had this issue but soon after (I think it took about 4 months) delivery, my skin tone was back to normal.

    don't worry. I too had the same when I was pregnant due to hormonal changes. by seeing my colour change to darker all my relatives used to say I will have a boy baby, but I dint believe that. lastly I gave birthday to Boh only. they also said that your face will glow and shine never like before un your third trimester if it is a girl baby

    The elder people say that the colour darkens means it is a boy. It happened for me, and the baby was very fair.
    But medically speaking it is because of folic acid + Iron tablets....

    Is that True Nani? When the skin color changes to dark we have boy? i feel tired and complexion is not that much fair glow in this 3rd trimester(33rd week) lets see that your words and old tales are true or not...

    Well i stoped folic acid and iron combination tablet for 1 weak, now my skin tone changed from darker to little fairer, after a week, but taking Calcium tablet. for iron supplement i used to take Dates and started to take greens for folate.

    Can any one tell, is that not bad to quit folic acid tablet?
    instead taking it in foods.

    pls advice..

    Stalin,

    You stopped iron with whose advice ???Dr's or your own....are you more concerened about your complexion than your growing kid.....?

    I was even having darker shade on my face when I was carrying my 1st baby-boy...but afterwards my skin tine returned to normal....My son was born very fair....

    Do not stop the medication without dr's approval.....
