Dear Ladies,

I am 33 wks pregnant, and I swear to god my nose is bigger than when I started out! It was the first thing my sister commented on, too, when she saw me after a couple of months. Is this a common pregnancy symptom? Will it get smaller again? I'm so sad -- I had such a cute little tiny nose to start out with -- the only tiny thing on my body ! ;)

Any info most appreciated.

Dear Dawn,
How kind of your sister to make such an observation, lol! Seriously, we
do change as we age and I'm afraid I'll end up with a nose like my
grandmother's, but edema during pregnancy could enlarge some features as
can thyroid or other disorders.  You should ask your doctor to do some
labs including thyroid, liver and kidney function.  I hope this helps,
Marie
