I had acne and was on meds before pregnancy but had to stop them... my skin broke out so bad with pimples and we're really sore I started using vichy normaderm and I find it brilliant.

They think I'm having a boy due to 13w sono. And I'm breaking out terribly!! With my other 2 sons I NEVER broke out. Just goes to show every pregnancy is different doesn't matter the sex. But we'll see in a couple weeks when they verify it! Hoping for a girl though!!!

I'm 16 weeks and still having this issue... Like you no acne before now I have a lot, I have tried all the natural everything, lemon, tea tree oil, form starch, coconut oil was by far the worst.... Mine has not balanced out but my doctor said that in the next few weeks it should balance out. She just said to wash face in morning and even if and use  moisturiser to keepnskin moist so it doesn't scar.

Ugh! Same here. I've never had acne, even as a teenager as I do now. Nor with my other two pregnancies. Darn hormones.

I'm having the same problem! I'm also nine weeks. My doctor said it's the hormone change and that it should even out after 13 weeks. I'm hoping she's right.
