why am I breaking out so much?

12 weeks in this pregnancy and I am breaking out!!! I know breaking out is normal but I am almost 30 and may break out every now and then. But this time it's like when one pimple goes away another comes and another sometimes two at a time. I feel like I'm going through a teenager stage all over again. I feel so ugly. It's already bad enough I feel unattractive with my body changing. Is there any way to get rid of this somewhat pizza face?

I had the same problem with my daughter. My son I had the clearest skin of my life. This time around my son can't make up its mind one day it's terrible two days later it's perfect. I keep joking that there's one boy and one girl because my skin is confused lol.

Nothings going to work I'm afraid whilst the hormones that you have at mo are still there. As soon as your not preg they will go .. I didn't get them with my boys but with my daughter and this one my face is covered :( it's horrible but it's all worth it.. It could be worse you could have a beard or something lol x x

I am 26 and pregant with my second son. I have really bad acne with this pregnancy.  I use fresh lime every night to every other night before going to bed and wash my face with it and it take care of it like a charm.

Some women just get really bad acne when they're pregnant. It's the hormones, and sorry but I don't know how to get rid of it:( I've been blessed with really good skin this pregnancy, but my aunt is 40 and she just had a baby last year and broke out really bad when she was pregnant. Nothing she did got rid of the bumps but as soon as the baby was born they went away.
