Face Breakout

I am 9wks and 3 days with baby #4 and my face is breaking out. This didn't really happen with my other pregnancies but it has with this one I use to think I was pretty now I feel I'm not. What could this mean? This hasn't happened to me until now.

I've had acne since I was 9 and FINALLY got it under control in college,  but it came back during pregnancy!
I tried a bunch of stuff but I have really sensitive so everything made it worse...
my dermatologist recommended Tea tree oil (but I didnt try it until i was 27 weeks because I'm a skeptic, lol!) It works like a charm!  Best skin I've ever had!! I dilute it a bit with water and apply it with a cotton ball every day and night. Plus it's pretty cheap at walmart or any other pharmacy.
i also hear claricil (sp?) Works for some people (too harsh for me) and I used to LOVE neutragena products but my face is just too sensitive now...

I'm so sorry you got acne. No one hates it more than I do...
