I'm getting so sick of these stupid things!

ZITS! All over my face. I had never EVER gotten acne/zits as a teenager. Maybe one would pop up randomly at the time of the month, but I've got a BOAT LOAD of them. More so during the second trimester. I'm using the clinique 3 step wash two times a day, but seriously. They're all gravitating towards my lip/chin area. Sometimes the forehead. Enough of this. Can I have my clear skin back? lol

Ok, I just had to rant. Is anything going on with you that normally doesn't during pregnancy that you'd like to rant about? Uff da!

    Ugh, same thing, I'm just trying to get used to it but I also find it frustrating since I'm not used to it.

    Although, on the positive side, I do have the most beautiful, long fingernails ever!! Big Smile

    Oh I am totally feeling you on that one!! At first it was all over but now it's really just on one side of my face, I look like two-face lol. It's so annoying an my skin is so dry because I was it so much...sigh... so much for glowing, not happening over here. :/

    I got some above my lip this week, and I seem to have some new red dots on my cheeks (not zits, but small splotches). Blech!

    Me too! Mostly just my forehead - they go away for a few days, then come back. I thought it was my cleanser, but that doesn't seem to be it. Just hormones, I guess. I thought I was supposed to be glowing, like, "radiant" not from the oil sheen. LOL!

    I complain about this the most!! I always had fairly clear skin until now. My chin and around my lips look like I have some disease because of all the acne and red marks they leave behind. Nothing is helping! I really can deal with the aches and pains, but this just makes me not want to look in a mirror ever!

    I totally agree!  My forehead is the worst right now and nothing I do seems to help.  I am just glad that the huge clusters along my jaw line have subsided.  I got a breakout of those just before got the BFP and they lasted until about 3 weeks ago.  I want to know where this glowing pregnant skin is?!?

    I have been breaking out like crazy too - my skin was never good to begin with, but this has made it much worse. Cetaphil is my new best friend. 

    Also, I love that you said "uff da!" I'm half Norwegian so that cracked me up :-)

    My skin has gotten super dry this pregnancy, which is weird because it has always been really really oily in the past.  I think it actually helps with the acne though, and I can skip a day of showering without looking like my hair is wet from grease, so I kinda hope this lasts a month or two after the baby is out.  My nipples are also oddly dry and almost look like the skin is peeling, so I've been putting **THIS IS SPAM** butter on them.
