1st Trimester
how could you be so ignorant?
My face is so broken out???its really bad. Worse than any teenage acne I?ve ever had.
But whatever, I?m pregnant and I?ve been dealing with it just fine.
Until today?..a woman I work with, who I normally like, just said to me ?what happen to your face? Do you have poison ivy??
And I burst into tears?
So now, not only am I sitting here at work with a face full of acne, but most of my makeup is wiped off.
Why would someone say that?

Re: how could you be so ignorant?
oh- and.... has anyone had this happen and it's gone away? or am i going to be stuck with this for 9 months?
You are kidding me. What an ass!
But to answer your question, someone would say that because he's insecure about his innie penis. What a jerk....
what a douche! NOT ok.
i'm sorry that she said that.
i totally feel your pain though. in fact... my DH and i went over to visit his brother/sis-in-law and their kids and their 6 year old daughter was sitting next to me and very sweetly asked, "auntie, what's this? and this? and this?" pointing to each one of my little pimples... ugh.
it was so sweet that all i could do was laugh... so innocent.
don't worry about it. once we get to the "glowing" stage she'll be jealous of how fan-freakin-tastic your skin looks.
chin up. 
thanks mystic, i'll try anything at this point!
Wow that's very rude to say!
At least you can laugh in her face when she finally finds out you're pg and let her know she should be more conscious of her thoughts!
THATS the ignorant part.... SHE KNOWS!
Wow...what a twit! I don't know why people have to point things out - like you don't know.
I once burned the crap out of my chin on a grilled cheese sandwich. It blistered and everything. Some goon asked me if I tried to pop a pimple. Yeah....a huge, massive pimple that morphed into a burn. Losers.
I am so sorry!!! My face is a mess too and everyday I keep hoping that I will wake up and have beautiful skin....nope....all over my face neck and chest!!
Some people are just jerks! Just think how all this will be worth it when you are holding your baby...with nice smooth skin!
WOW that is rude!! I'm sorry she was so insensitive.
Just think, it's worth going through all this stuff for your little one.
Oh, people like that are infuriating! I'm really sorry that happened to you.
If it makes you feel any better, once (when not pregnant, thus without any fun excuse) a co-worker asked me "what happened to your face?" Needless to say, I was crushed. But I did come back with, "you know, it's rude to make comments like that."
Not sure what difference it made to her, but it certainly made me feel better
I had the same c*ap happen to me a few weeks ago. People have no tact, really.
Its disgusting how some have no tact when your pregnant.
I had to laugh at your post.
I actually did have poison ivy on my face a few weeks ago, and I was getting A LOT of "Oh my gosh, what's wrong with your face??!!"
Of course, it did look like I had been beaten on the head with a stick. It was all swollen and distorted.
I think if someone sees something abnormal, they're not asking to be insensitive, they're asking to make sure everything is OK.
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
WOW. Now that is ignorance. I'm sorry you have to deal with such crappy people! Don't let it get to you!
Wow. That is just plain MEAN.
My skin is also worse than it has EVER been. All on my jaw line, my chin & underneath too, like on my neck. I look like a before picture for an acne product.
About an hour after telling my mom i was pregnant we were talking and she asked "what is wrong with your face?". I just said- 'wow mom, thats a nice way to ask. remember when i told you i was pregnant???'
