    bad skin

    Honestly i have good skin normally and i have just started getting really bad skin and im only 14 weeks. I swear i never got this before with my past three. Anyone else getting bad acne problems? Did it go away or were you stuck with it until the baby was born?

    With my first pregnancy I got bad acne as well. Unfortunately for me it lasted throughout my whole pregnancy and beyond.

    This time around I have perfect skin and am loving it! Every pregnancy is so different.

    Hope it clears up for you soon.

    My was horrible both times, second time it started clearing up toward the end of the second trimester. But I don't know if it was just doing it's thing or of it was because I was going for fortnightly skin clearing facials as I was getting married and didn't wanna look like a pizza face!

    Mine is SO bad right now too. I also have really dry skin, so its not so much pimples as little sores/scabbies and none of the usual treatments work! I've tried everything from witch hazel to proactiv and NOTHING works! I even tried an olive oil concoction my cousin suggested - she learnt about it at beauty school - but not even that made much difference. I normally have great skin, I never had zits as a teenager or anything, but the last few months being pg and while I was overseas have been a nightmare! I look like I have chicken pox or something!
