pimples!

This is my first pregnancy and I'm 21. I've never had bad acne..maybe one or 2 around my menstrual cycle. But ever since ive been pregnant I've been breaking out like crazy. Not just on my face but on my shoulders and for some reason in the middle of my back. Has this happened to anyone else? I know it's not a big deal but it is annoying!
