Puberty all over again?!!

in September 2015 Moms
soo when does the pregnancy glow start?! Right now I just kind of feel like I'm going through puberty again with all this acne and my boobies growing. The only difference is I'm getting wider instead of taller! Does anyone else have bad acne? How do you deal with it!

    I totally feel your pain. I can't even leave my house without makeup on :( I feel so self conscious and no matter what I do I keep getting new ones. When does it end?!

    Exact same here. I was pretty lucky as a teenager and never had much acne. Even with my first pregnancy I didn't have this. It's horrible! And just want it to go away NOW!

    Me too! this is my first pregnancy and I don't look like I'm showing yet. So all you can see is my face breaking out :( and there is nothing I can do about it. So I feel somewhat depressed about it.

    I read you can use salycic acid under 2% so I use Acne Free cleanser once a day.

    I just always think about what to expect when your expecting the movie (love it but will make you cry haha ) . She's holding the baby at the end and goes "I waited the whole time for "the glow" but he... he is my glow ". As a STM I can say that's your glow :)

    I am so happy that i'm not alone! i mean i'm not happy that everyone else has to experience it but it's good to know i'm not alone in this. Acne started as soon as I got pregnant and has been SO bad since! (That's why i thought i was having a girl) I kept telling people the same thing, i feel like i'm in puberty all over again and it sucks! I literally went into depression over it. I cried every night after I washed my makeup off, thankfully I have an amazing husband who always tells me I look beautiful every day. 

    After I found out that you're not supposed to use salcylic acid, i tried to find something natural so i'll at least feel like i have a clean face at night, i started using Burts Bee's all natural face wash and I love it! Also, after i started breaking out i switched to different makeup which i discovered started clogging my pores and making things worse so i recently went back to BareMinerals and got their newest foundation Complexion Rescue, best decision i've made! Another also, since i'm already having to pee every 5 minutes without drinking anything, I decided it was safe to increase my water intake and have been eating more green veggies. I definitely have been seeing progress with my skin. 

    @thefuturemrsdaniel - thanks for posting that! such a true reminder that our baby's will be our glow :)

    I've been having the worst time with my acne! My dr told me not to use any salycilic acid or benzoyl peroxide, so I've been using an organic cleanser. Not sure it's done much good. Every time I think my skin is starting to clear up, more pimples appear! Just find a good cover-up makeup and live with it. My hubby is incredibly supportive and wonderful and tells me I'm beautiful every single day, and I figure that as long as he still loves me and finds me attractive, that's good enough for me!

    @sterjacks21 Yep! Been breaking out a lot! I've started washing my face more frequently with all natural apricot wash and then following that with a moisturizing blend of organic coconut oil mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil. Started Sunday and I'm already seeing a difference. I've also been avoiding makeup as much as possible, especially concealer as it seems to irritate a lot. Drinking tons of water helps too, for my weight 150 I drink a gallon a day (well I try to anyways, lol) Good luck!

    So witj you ladies. I have a few whoppers planted on my face that look pretty cozy. These effers aren't going anywhere. I ended up going to the dermo and she put me on a new regime (more gentle) and so far no newbies just these few that popped up before. I want the glow, damn it!

    I wish I was getting taller!! I did find I have had to change my skin care with my changing skin. So don't be afraid of changing it up!!

    My acne has definitely gotten worse. These past weeks I've decided to take this "glow" into my own hands. I bought Avena's positvely radiant face cream and it's really made a different, and today I used self tanner. I just couldn't take it anymore.
