I'm sorry you girls are going through this. I've hardly had acne before being pregnant and now that I'm pregnant my skin is even more clear. I did get a couple when I was taking my prenatal vitamins. I stopped and now I'm clear.

Am 19 weeks having a girl and been dealing with it also I have heard it is common to get acne while pregnant. I haven't been wearing anything that might cause discomfort . It will eventually go away.

I'm 17 weeks and have been dealing with it too.  I never used to have it so I thought it was kind of weird.  My face has been dry and raw and the acne got a lot worse before it's gotten any better.  What I'm doing for it is just a hot water compress over the acne and I've been trying other face washes and lotions. The ones I'm seeing improvement with is a face wash I made at home which is coconut oil, baking soda and a couple frankincense oil for the fave wash.  Works wonderful!  Makes your face feel clean and soft. For a moisturizer I have been using curél ultra healing. The acne and dry skin is just about healed up after only a couple days.  Give it a try!

I always had a little acne problem, but with the pregnancy it is way worse than before. Like, everywhere, on my face, back and arms. First i thouggt it had something to do with my way of eating but i'm eating pretty healthy so i dont really know what to do.

I have literally 3 zits that haven't gone away since conception (and I'm 19 weeks today).  I guess they will stick around for the duration... Haha.  Annoying little reminders of the crazy hormones.

I have acne, i'm having a boy. I use a gentle face wash and shampoo and dermocrem from Weleda daily, and that helps prevent really bad outbreaks. Oh and i wear as little make up as possible, just a light coating when i go out. I notice the acne is always worse after a make up day
