What causes dark circles during pregnancy?
Several factors contribute to dark circles during pregnancy, including hormonal changes, increased blood volume, fatigue and fluid retention.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can dilate blood vessels, causing blood to pool beneath the thin skin around the eyes and leading to dark circles.

Many treatments that don't require procedures are generally considered safe during pregnancy. These can include using cooling eye masks, raising the head while sleeping, and ensuring hydration.
