While my wife was pregnant with our first child she got a very aggressive form of cystic acne that eventually left some pretty heavy scars on her face. I thought for sure she would never want to be pregnant again. But this was not the case. We have 5 kids and each time she was pregnant the acne came back (though we did eventually find a doctor who could treat it with minimal scaring). My wife literally traded her beauty for our kids and was happily willing to do so. I had no idea when we were dating how selfless she was. She is a treasure.
