My face has suddenly broken out badly this week and period is also due in few days. could this be an early sign or im just overthinking it? anyone else got acne before they found out?
According to my doctor, the sudden surge of progesterone in early pregnancy increases sebum production, which causes breakouts. She advised avoiding chemical acne creams and sticking to mild face washes.
Yes, it definitely can be! Those pregnancy hormones can go crazy in the first few weeks, so don't worry too much, just keep your face clean and stay hydrated, okay?
I had terrible acne along with bad nausea during my first few weeks. Drinking lots of water and fresh coconut water helped soothe my skin and my stomach a bit.
It's very common because of hormonal changes. Don't worry about using heavy skin treatments right now, it usually clears up on its own by the second trimester.
