Blotchy Skin During Pregnancy

Hey There ladies..  Ever since ive been pregnant my skin has been horrific! I've never really had perfect skin but i have so many pimples and more keep coming, its awful. Was wondering if anyone else got really bad skin and how long did it last? nothing i do can help!  aarrrgghhh

when I was pregnant MY skin too was horrible.  It just cleared up 8 weeks after m/c.   good luck..

I broke out pretty bad during the first trimester and a little into the second. It will clear up but remember, your body, at the very least, will show the sme symptoms during pregnancy that are experienced before your period.......our hormones are raging girl....LOL

Oh thank goodness I thought I was the only one!
Granted, I had a miscarriage four weeks ago today but during the pregnancy my skin was horrible! I definitely did not have the "glow" that they say you're supposed to have!! I felt so gross. My skin has slowly been clearing up since the m/c but my doc says that it can sometimes take up to four months after birth or m/c for hormones to readjust and skin to clear.
I noticed however that if I ate well and avoided "inflammatory" foods such as sugars, salt, spices and upped my intake of antioxidants such as blueberries, strawberries and almonds my breakouts were less red.

Im sorry to you ladies that had their pregnancy end in m/c.  So sad.  Thanks for the reply.   Ill try and stay away from those bad foods..

I am 24 wks and have the worst skin I ever had in the last 29 yrs !!!!
No breakouts, but I am have got pigmentation all over.

My forehead lookd darker than the rst of my face!!, Underarms are darker(do not want to wear sleeveless) My whole complexion has become more brownish (I am from a tropical country, so already hv got a darker colouring).
No pregnency glow to speak about!!!!!!!!!I hope this all reverses after my li'l one has made the grand appearance :)

I am 30 weeks pregnant and until 2 weeks ago i have good skin and my nails have been growing really strong.  All of that has changed now, my nails keep breaking and i've never been so spotty.  Im hoping this will go when the baby arrives.  I guess i am lucky that i am only starting to suffer this late on.
