Pregnancy and acne

Did anybody have horrible acne in one pregnancy but not the other? At least did not get it so bad on the other pregnancy. I am 5 wks and extremely neevous it will be as bad as I had it on my first pregnancy... My face already feels oily!

It depends on the gender sometimes. They say girls make you break out and boys don't. But there's really no telling everyone is different

I had really bad acne with my son. This pregnancy is much better! I'm 18 weeks with a girl this time.

Oh welcome to the club. Sorry my face so awful till 10 or 11 weeks that was unreal. I'm 34 and still having adult acne on top of hormonal acne. They can't give you too much stuff like meds for it right now. You gotta hold on and later it should get better. After I delivered my 2nd baby my face was awful again. Yeah ... hormonal craziness. But I use tea tree oil pads off of amazon to clean my face with. Very natural and it does help to reduce inflammation. Mineral powder make up has been the best so far to cover up with. Also i use Guinot products that is a French line. It helps but hormonal craziness you just have to wait to pass ... i feel your pain. Trust me.

My first pregnancy I had terrible breakouts on my back very large and painful I talked to my dermatologist and the prescribed a jell to help. I do not normally have ache any where but the occasional on my face I am hoping this second time aroud is different, 6-7 weeks along now. Good luck hope your pregnancy is full of joy!

I noticed an excessive amount of oil, on face and hair, this pregnancy. I couldn't understand why but it started around 4-5 weeks for me and when I went for my first check up at 8 weeks I found out I was having twins! I have had two other pregnancies (one girl, one boy) and this was not a problem with them but I noticed it right away with this pregnancy.. Good luck!

I had acne problems with my first (and I seldom get acne regularly), but had great skin all through the second pregnancy. Each pregnancy is definitely different!

Try using St Ives face wash it works tremendously and it's inexpensive
