The changes eventually took a toll on her confidence as well. "I felt so down and kept wondering, 'Why me?' I worried that maybe these changes were permanent," she said, adding, "I stopped taking pictures and didn't feel comfortable going out without wearing a mask to hide my face."

Despite the struggle, Farah expressed gratitude for her husband's unwavering support. In a report by The Sun, she shared, "He constantly reminded me that I was beautiful, strong and loved."

Eventually, Farah learned that the condition was the result of hormonal changes brought about by pregnancy. In an official SAYS article, she explained the relief she felt after knowing it was not a permanent change at all. "I understood that a woman's body undergoes many hormonal changes during pregnancy. So, it was actually a relief to know the condition wasn't permanent," she said.
