Oily skin and pimples

[first_time_mummy]

Ive had a severe breakout of pimples lately.
was wondering if this was linked with my pregnancy.

Ive never suffered acne or bad pimples, but lately have had one after the other, and my skin is so oily and red and blotchy.

When i touch my nose, forehead or chin, I can see the oily residue on my fingers.


Yikes! will this settle down after the baby?

Isn't pregnancy wonderful...lol... i'm exactly the same, breaking out in pimple... around my hairline, all over and through my hair and on my shoulders... although it's not as bad as it was...

I had bad acne with my son that cleared up by my 2nd tri. My skin has been fine since having him. Fingers crossed no acne with this bub but it's early days yet.

Definitely had this issue! Still isn't completely clear but it is getting there... hormones are fun things, hey!

i broke out really bad well really bad for me as i never really got pimples or acne even in high school i was lucky i only ever got one big one every now and then and i loved it having clear skin and now i dont like looking in the mirror lol

I too suffered acne from about 6wks but my skin has settled quite a lot. Now just a couple on my face and the odd little one on my chest. I changed my skin care range to suit my skin though - so I thinked this could have helped.

I broke out in pimples as soon as I fell pregnant then after the first trimester they all cleared up and I have never had one again!
