I have small vitiligo patches since years and now that im pregnant im scared it will spread more with all the hormone changes. Im 16 weeks. Anyone here with vitiligo, did it get worse during ur pregnancy?
Oh, this is such a valid concern! I remember overthinking every little thing when I was pregnant. With vitiligo, since hormones and immune system are involved, it's really individual. Some people see changes, some don't. Definitely have a conversation with your skin doctor and gynac to get personalized advice and reassurance.
Pregnancy changes so much in our bodies, and hormones play a huge role. I've heard that skin conditions can sometimes change, but it's very individual for vitiligo. Please talk to your skin doctor and your gynac, they are the best people to advise you specifically for your condition. Sending you strength!
This is something I'm actually quite worried about too, as I have vitiligo myself and am planning to conceive. I've read mixed experiences online. Has anyone here had it either get worse or better during pregnancy? I'm trying to gather more info.
I know these specific questions can make you feel anxious, but try not to stress too much. The body goes through so many changes during pregnancy. For vitiligo, it's really best to talk to your dermatologist and your gynac. They can guide you properly, and you'll be fine. My toddler is now running around, and I realize how much I worried unnecessarily then!
Every woman's body reacts differently to pregnancy, especially with autoimmune conditions like vitiligo. Hormonal shifts can sometimes influence it. While I didn't have vitiligo, I learned that consulting both your skin specialist and obstetrician is the safest way to understand what to expect and how to manage it during and after pregnancy.
Vitiligo is a complex condition. Pregnancy can affect your immune system and hormones, so sometimes skin conditions can change. It might spread, or it might stay the same, or even improve for some. It's best to discuss this with your dermatologist and gynaecologist, they can monitor you closely.
