My skin was always clear but since i got pregnant my whole face is breaking out badly, 13 weeks now. Feeling thoda low looking in the mirror tbh. Is this a hormone thing and will it settle down later?
I had terrible acne during my pregnancy and felt so self-conscious about it. But honestly, now that I look back at those photos, I only see the beautiful mother-to-be, not the pimples. They will vanish completely after delivery, so don't stress over it!
I totally understand how frustrating it is when you look in the mirror and see these stubborn pimples during such a special time. It's just because of all the hormonal changes happening inside to support your sweet baby. Don't worry about it at all, you are glowing beautifully no matter what!
When my face broke out, I asked the skin specialist at my premium maternity hospital during my routine checkup. They gave me a list of safe, pregnancy-approved ointments and told me to avoid salicylic acid. It is always better to get a professional opinion from your hospital staff.
After everything my body went through during IVF, my face completely broke out with painful pimples. It can be hard to deal with, but please remember it's just a sign of your pregnancy hormones working hard. Be very gentle with your skin and avoid any harsh chemical treatments right now.
Omg, same here! I am in my second trimester and my forehead is full of tiny pimples, it is so annoying. Did anyone find a safe home remedy or face wash that actually works without harming the baby?
I also got bad pimples in my first trimester, probably due to sweat and hormones. I found that going for my daily 30-minute walks and drinking plenty of water really helped flush out toxins and clear my skin slightly. Just keep your diet clean and check with your doc before trying any new skincare.
Pregnancy acne is extremely common due to increased progesterone levels, which cause your skin to produce more oil. Many standard acne medicines like retinoids are strictly unsafe during pregnancy, so please consult your dermatologist or gynac before applying anything. Simple, gentle face washes are best.
