My skin was always clear but suddenly so many pimples on chin and cheeks. Im in early weeks and wondering if this is a pregnancy thing or just normal. Anyone else broke out like this?
Yaar, my face actually looked like a teenager's face in the first trimester! It's so annoying but totally normal because of all those crazy hormones. Just keep your skin clean and don't stress over it.
I panicked thinking my skincare routine had ruined my face! But my gynac assured me it's just the 'pregnancy glow' starting with some breakouts first. It cleared up beautifully in my second trimester, so relax.
Yes, I got terrible breakouts on my chin in early pregnancy. After my C-section, my skin finally cleared up. Just wash your face with mild cleansers and avoid using any harsh anti-acne creams without asking your doctor.
Yes beta, it's very normal. The surge in progesterone makes your skin produce more oil, leading to pimples. Don't squeeze them, just drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits.
I had breakouts too, but since I also had thyroid issues, my doctor said hormonal changes are the main cause. Just make sure to get your routine thyroid checkups done, as sometimes hormone imbalances show up on the skin.
