For those who are having a baby girl...

Soon to be Mrs. Topper · February 2009

I've got HORRIBLE acne that's been here basically since BFP. I've heard that if you have really bad acne it can possibly be a baby girl. Any mom's to little girls having this problem too??

duckee88 · February 2009

I have had it bad. Once one really big bump goes away the next day I have another. So annoying.

Me! Me! Me!

I have a 15mo old boy, and am not pg with a little girl. No acne neither time.

My BFF had a little girl, then had a little boy and had horrible acne both times.

So it depends on the person, not the sex of the baby.

I have had bad acne since my BFP . I have always heard this too but I have a friend who had a boy and had the acne just as bad.

I hear girls take your beauty and I think that one is true because I look like crap-ola. hahaha..

ugh... me.

but that's just an old wive's tale and women pregnant with boys get the dreaded flesh eating pregnancy acne too.

They say girls steal mama's beauty. I know that was true with my first

beth thacker · February 2009

I get acne really bad on my chin now but it's nothing horrible. It's a little worse than when I was younger but not too much. It's an OWT. end of story!

NewLerma · February 2009

Nope, my skin is more clear than it ever was and I'm having a girl. So you have a 50/50 shot

west_indy · February 2009

I have it bad also...they also say you will lose your hair. I havent had that problem yet, but be careful!

orion09 · February 2009

i'm having a little chica and my face has been clear thus far....

::knocking on wood::

lunamanzana · February 2009

Pfft, I don't buy it. I'm having a boy so I should be free and clear, but I've got more acne than a high school marching band.

HappyTXChick · February 2009

Correct to my post: EITHER time, not neither time : )

MStason · February 2009

For me its true and nothing I have tried has helped. The only thing that helps even a little is really mild face soap and no acne products. They seem to make mine worse. Good luck

in my life · February 2009

I've been breaking out like crazy since BFP, and it's a girl! No idea if they relate though.

JJT · February 2009

I have it too... I am asking my Dr. for anything to help it go away because it is on my body like on my back and shoulders. YUCK!!! I hate it!!

The New Mrs. · February 2009

OWT....

DSteed-to-be · February 2009

I've had on and off patches of acne since the beginning, and I'm having a boy. The OWT on this one makes sense that the extra testosterone causes the hormonal imbalance in you that causes the breakouts.....of course, extra estrogen would seem to do the same.

Not a reliable test.

HotDish! · February 2009

I didn't have any acne with DD.

Temp984666312503071 · February 2009

Nope. No acne here and I am having a girl.

water-fairy · February 2009

totally an OWT I think...?

mrsmel · February 2009

um, how do you know the sex of your baby at 13 weeks?????

oohhhhh....I'll have to try that!! Thanks ladies!! Big Smile

I do not, it is more of a hormone thing. Once I came of birth control I had to go to the dr. for my acne. SHe said it woudl clear up once I got pregnant or back on BC and it did.

I think what you are saying is more of an old wives tale. That being pregnant wiht a baby girl will suck the beauty out of you. I do no believe it

blessed_wife · February 2009

I'm having a little girl and my face is pretty clear...

JamieNIan · February 2009

I have normal acne, like before period. I keep my face completely clean all the time. I wash my face at least 3 times a day and frequently use those pad thingyies. You would think it would either be perfect complexion or total opposite, but I'll take what I have.
