close to 2nd tri, acne flareup?

My acne was out of control between week 6-9 of this pregnancy. Then my skin started to clear up and I got excited about entering the "blissfull" 2nd trimester. That was until today. I'm thisclose to the 2nd trimester and my skin is horrible again.

Anyone else experiencing this?

  • My chest has been breaking out a lot more, and I even found a pimple under my boob, so random.

  • I have been breaking out on my face like crazy these past weeks. I've tried everything except Proactiv!
    due april 10th :))
  • Yeah my skin looks as bad as it did when I was a teen.  It's horrible.  And I have all of these tiny little pimples on my forehead!!!  They are just so gross.  :(  I'm waiting for my super awesome clear skin to come!  I had it with both of my girls from 2nd Tri on.  I WANT IT BACK!
  • My skin has never been my strong point to the point of me needing medications, treatments etc. Knock on Wood here but ever since I got pregnant my skin has been quite under control. My hormones are playing crazy games but I will take this as a win.

  • I had a break out yesterday and it's making me crazy. My acne has always been mild, but this has been unfortunate.

    This was my experience too. I was loving pregnancy for this reason as my skin has always been awful. 

    I did have one flare up around the 9 week mark, but later realized I switched makeup that week and that probably did it.

    Now, I woke up a bit broken out this morning at the same day in pregnancy as you OP. Could be a coincidence I guess, but blah!

  • I'm on the same boat. It sucks. My dr even gave me cream before but it does not work. I clean my face twice a day and u barely put any make up. It's mainly under my face and some on my neck area.
