  • You are not alone. I never, ever had bad skin until I got pregnant!

  • yes, and it's fairly common. ask your doc. mine doesn't prescribe anything, but some do.

    it's mostly your lovely hormones. i just use a gentle cleanser, make sure to drink lots of water, and try not to let some zits bug me too much because it's been one of my only symptoms. i know it could be worse!

  • I didnt have m/s but I have had bad/horrible skin since finding out I was pregnant...I've tried a variety of things....so far what's worked and kept the breakouts to a minimum is witch hazel and cetaphil. ?I still have break outs but not nearly as bad. ?GL
  • I never got bad breakouts - I have a huge one in my hair at the back of my head.  I had some on my neck and thought I had poison ivy.

    To soothe the ones on my face - I have used toothpaste. My esthetician (spelling) said it was okay.

  • My face went bonkers in 2nd tri. I just switched from my Origins face wash back to Cetaphil and my face seems to be clearing. Thank god.

    You might give it a whirl.

  • Mine is horrible! I'm trying EVERYTHING!! My Dr. said Proactiv was alright to use...it's kinds helping but these hormones will do whatever they want to! I bow down to whomever made make-up!

  • That same thing is happening to me.  It has started to clear up this week though *crosses fingers*.  I had great skin while I was on the pill...but as soon as I got pregnant it was breakout city.  I just kept using my Mary Kay and praying it would get better.  Good luck!

  • Yes I had the same problem. I always had greats skin until I got pregnant. I thought we are suppose to be having great skin during this time. :(

  • I am right there with you.  I hate it so bad.  It is not just my face but my shoulders as well.  I found a sensitive skin clean that my ob said was okay to use.  It seems to help a little but it did not completely solve the problem.  If you find something that works share the info,
  • Mine has been horrible! Face, back and chest. The acne on my back and chest aren't as noticeable, almost looks like a heat rash Tongue Tied My Dr. suggested using a loofah (sp?) to scrub lightly while in the shower on back and chest. Haven't noticed a difference so far, but I'm gonna keep scrubbin away and hopin!
