Help! I'm breaking out like crazy

[fsantiago]

I started breaking out terribly this weekend...Any suggestions on what I can?
This is the bad part of pregnancy for me....Besides fact that no one now's yet so they keep looking at me like I've just gained weight...LOL
Really, Any suggestions on helping the face to not breakout so bad or what I can use to get rid of the ones I have...I currently use Oil of Olay and that helps normally...

Your goibng to think I'm crazy but put a very small amount of toothpaste on your acne before you go to bed and that will help to clear it up. I got acne so bad when I was pregnant, and it helped. I still nedded to use a cleanser during the day but the toothpaste helped to bring the redness down and help to dry it up. Hope this helps. Keep me posted.

I'm interested in responses on this one.  My face does the same thing, usually during early pregnancy.  My H looked at me yesterday, looked my face up and down and said "yup we can tell yer pregnant"

LOL....I had a huge one under my left eye and 2 of my kids asked me "what's that red thing on your face??"

Benzoyl Perxide cream is safe to use during pregnancy. It works pretty well too but can dry your skin out so start out slow with it.

Proactiv is the best thing in the world for acne!!! I swear by it. I too had acne during pregnancy and proactiv was the only thing that cured it. Its just a three step face wash. Proactiv is by guthy-ranker.

I'm with tjmartens, Proactiv is like a miracle cure (overnight zit be gone). Plus the best thing for the acne and pregancy is lots and lots of water. I also work full-time, and the last thing I want to go into client meeting with is a face covered with blemishes and my clothes stretched across bloated tummy. So attractive! The good news is with both of my pregancies, this cleared up around week 10-12 when those initial hormones strat to level out t bit. Where is that pregnancy glow that everyone is suppose to get... it passed me by.
