Anyone else breaking out ???

I have break outs everywhere. From small white heads to huge pimples. Everywhere from my face to my chest to my back. Ive always got pimples and such on my face but never my back or chest. And the pimples are huge. Im just worried. Like do these break outs mean im gonna get my period or something?? Anyone else have or had break outs while pregnant. Im 12wks. I just need some kinda reassurance cuz my mom scarrd me today by saying "idk about breaking out while pregnant." as if its a bad thing.

Im 14 weeks and was really breaking out in the beginning but now i hardly get them and just small ones here and there. I never had acne before so it was difficult for me to deal with but hopefully it'll get better

I had acne before. But nothing too major just a pimple here and there. Now that I'm 38 weeks I got them all over my chin and I noticed I'm starting to get these huge ones on my cheeks :(

It's very common and it does not signal any particular gender. I'm 23&1 with a boy and been getting acne on my face and back as well. It's from hormone fluctuation.

Means you're having a girl ;) lol that happened to me when I was pregnant with my daughter. I always had acne but when I got pregnant they were like pustules and massive and everywhere. I especially got them on my neck. The plus side was that once she was born, my skin completely cleared and I didn't get ANY acne any more. Until I got pregnant with my son but with him it's just a couple small ones here and there. Not sure if it's the same with you, just giving you some hope! :)
