My skin was always clear but now in second trimester suddenly so many pimples on chin and forehead. Is it just hormones or does it mean something about the baby? My saas keeps saying it indicates girl haha. Curious what others felt.
It simply means your hormones are peaking, nothing else. Don't waste money on expensive creams because they won't work right now. Just wash your face twice with a mild cleanser, keep your hair off your face, and let nature do its thing.
I remember crying over my pregnancy acne when I was expecting my boy, thinking my face was ruined forever. But trust me, once your little one is in your arms, everything clears up on its own. Just keep drinking lots of water and don't squeeze them!
I am facing this exact same issue right now in my fifth month. My forehead is covered in tiny bumps and nothing seems to work. Did your doctor suggest any safe face wash or did they just say it will go away after delivery?
Having PCOS made me really prone to breakouts anyway, and pregnancy hormones just made it peak. Honestly, every body reacts so differently to hormonal shifts, so it is best not to experiment with heavy acne creams. Just check with your gynac once before applying anything medical.
It can feel so upsetting when you see your skin changing and you start worrying if something is wrong inside. Please know that it's just normal hormonal changes and it doesn't mean anything bad is happening. Take a breath, you are doing great, and just mention it to your doc in the next visit to ease your mind.
Oh god, don't even ask! I thought pregnancy glow was a real thing but my face looked like a teenager's chemistry lab. It's just crazy hormones doing their job, but honestly, now with the baby keeping me awake all night, I miss those simple pimple days.
