I've been breaking out with a lot of pimples lately, which is unusual for me. My period is also a few days late. Could pimples be an early sign that I might be pregnant?
Oh god, yes! I remember getting terrible breakouts in week 5 and I got so anxious that it was some infection. But then I read it's just progesterone. Don't pick them, and check with your doc if you want to use any pregnancy-safe face wash!
I can't speak for everyone, but for me, I suddenly got painful pimples on my jawline right around my missed period. It was actually my very first clue before I even took a test!
Yes, it is very common dear. When I got them, my mother told me not to put any strong chemical creams and just wash my face with plain water or use a gentle besan pack. They went away slowly.
Breakouts are common due to hormonal spikes. Try to drink lots of water and eat clean, low-glycemic foods, which help keep both your skin clear and your blood sugar levels stable.
Oh yes, the beautiful 'pregnancy glow' is sometimes just a bunch of angry red pimples, lol! Don't worry, your hormones are just throwing a party. It usually gets better after the first trimester.
