Pregnancy and pimples... and did you have a boy or girl?

[Indadhanu]

I just replied to a post about pregnancy breakouts, and noticed that a lot of the woman who posted about having dreadful skin during pregnancy are having or did have girls.... so I am wondering... is there any correlation between having a girl and having ouchy breakouts and pimples during pregnancy...

I am having a little princess, and my skin has been horrible. Big red ouchy horrible pimples on my cheeks and chin, and also some on my back and even shoulders!

Though I'd start a BB study into how your skin was (or is)during pregnancy, and whether you had (or are epecting) and little princess or a prince.....

I wonder if there has been a proper study...? Maybe its something to do with the hormones when you're having a girl...?

Interesting... my skin is perfect and I've been suspecting we're having a boy. So maybe we are...? Be interested to see what everyone says

I got really sore pimples whenever af would have been due, and i had 3 princes

[Arimeh]

Interesting.. I had great skin when pregnant with DS and have broken out with this one - gender unknown!!!! I'll let you know for sure if its the same in my case in about, say 18 and a half weeks time..

My sister was a big puss ball with her pregnancy and had a girl! I had 2 girls but no pimple which i was glad about

[Cally]

Lots of pimples and I had a girl!

[kirsty_lee]

Pimples atm driving me bloody bonkers and i've been told twice that it's a girl

[2girlz]

I had heaps to and expecting a girl

[Artechim]

Perfect clear skin for me and I had a boy. Wish it was still like that.

aaah how interesting! i lways get a few little sweat pimple looking ones on my chest through both pregnancies. i did not really have bad skin last pregnancy and i had a princess, this one i don't either except for on the chest so maybe another girl but we are suspecting a prince this time...
Also, my friend had terrible breakouts and she's almost due with a little prince.. doesn't really ad up does it but very interesting!!

I had pimples really bad, on my face, back and chest and it was a boy.

My second pregnancy, not as bad, none on my back or chest and it was a girl.

Am now on my third, and the pimples are back! Nowhere near as bad on my face but bad on my back and shoulders and its another boy!

[Indadhanu]

LOL! Ok so that blows my theory out of the water then

Must just be another 'wonderful' pregnancy experience!

[MummyTummy]

Maybe it has something to do with where you break out. My SIL had it really bad on her back and she had a boy.

I seem to be a bit of a combo. Beautiful clear skin except for my chin and forehead just above my eyebrows where I am breaking out constantly - mainly blackheads though, or undergrounds. Gender unknown!

Pimples for 1st trimester in both pregnancies, then cleared up by 14 weeks. Both boys...

[satya]

I'm expecting a boy (had an amnio) and I have never had better skin than what I have had throughout this pregnancy.

[SnowWhite]

When i found out i was pregnant up till about 20weeks I had pimples galore. all over my face and also sweat pimples all over my back... and I had a girl.

[Neatisme]

I was perfectly pimple free all throughout my pregnancy..............and I had a boy!!

[Willow]

1st prg with my DD had heaps of pimples, mainly on my chest!

2nd prg (we lost this baby at 12 wks so don't know the sex, but I feel it was a girl) same deal - in fact, that's how I knew I was prg, the pimples on my chest!

3rd prg - not a single pimple the whole 9 months...you guessed it, a boy!
