Yes, pregnant women can have Bell's palsy. Pregnant woman are over 30% more likely to suffer from the condition than anyone else, which is why raising awareness at ante-natal classes and with fellow pregnant friends and relatives is important. If you experience drooping of the mouth and eyes, tingling and numbness in your face and/or an inability to control facial movements then you should see your doctor as soon as possible. There is a higher change of a quick recovery if you seek treatment quickly after the onset of symptoms.
