how accurate is this myth?

The myth is : if you're face breaks out with acne you're having a girl . All my life I've never really had any bumps on my face but now that I'm 18 weeks I have acne all around my forehead and chin.  How many people has acne& is having a girl?  I find out next week :)

Myth. You have a chance of getting acne during pregnancy because of the extra hormones in your body. While many people do, there are just as many who don't. There are also people who had acne before and are unable to tell the difference. Acne isn't just a teenager thing, it just starts around then and can continue well into adulthood without pregnancy.

Older people use to say thay if you have acne or your face appears "different"- your having a girl because they supposedly take or drain you of your beauty.  Its a myth
