Ache on my face and back

[Tammy_marie]

I'm 9 weeks on Friday and in the last 2-3 weeks I have had so many pimples pop up.. I have alot around my mouth and chin, and some around my nose, also I'm getting alot on my back and shoulders.. I've always had a few pimples on my face during period times etc but I've never had it this bad.. Is this normal? And will it go away soon.. I feel so yuck :(

I had very clear porcelain skin and then got pregnant and I looked like a hormonal teen lol but it went away and cetaphil helps it to not look as bad. It went away for a long time but now at 37w it's back :(

Thanks so much guys.. Makes me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one, and hopefully it will get better soon! :) xx

Very normal, your hormones are going insane right now causing the acne. I had very bad acne during my 1st trimester and nothing took it away but during the 2nd trimester it cleared up.

Its true, the further along you get it does get better. I'm twenty weeks and around the second trimester it started clearing up. It sucked during the first trimester though haha

Acne is a very common side affect to pregnancy. It comes and goes, and usually people tell me it starts clearing up the further long you get. Wash your face day and night.
