WTF is happening to my skin? Pregnancy skin concerns – with dermatology nurse Emily

In our 117th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with dermatology nurse Emily all about different pregnancy skin concerns:

• Is it common to get skin changes during pregnancy?
• Do pregnancy skin changes tend to be flare-ups of skin conditions that you’ve already suffered from in the past?
• Does it tend to be that if you suffered from a certain skin condition in one pregnancy, you’ll probably have the same skin condition in another pregnancy?
• Do most of these skin conditions resolve postpartum?
• Are melasma and hyperpigmentation the same thing? And how do you treat them?
• What changes should you make to our skin care regime if you’ve just found out you’re pregnant?
• What are the benefits of LED?
• Is there anything you can do to avoid skin issues during pregnancy?
• Is there a difference between eczema and dermatitis? And is it genetic?
• Are there any supplements for pregnancy hair loss/postpartum hair regrowth? Or is this something you just have to ride out?
• Stretch marks! For those who want to avoid or decrease them, are there any oils/treatments that work?
• And MUCH MORE!!!

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
