Yes, pimples are very common due to hormonal changes. It is temporary and will go away after delivery, don't worry too much.

Same here, I'm currently in my 12th week and my chin is full of tiny pimples. Does it get better in the second trimester, or does it stay like this?

Babita Oberoi · Answer

I had terrible acne during my first trimester. But post my C-section, as my hormones started settling down, my skin slowly cleared up on its own, so don't worry.

Yes, pregnancy acne is real, but don't waste money on expensive dermatologist creams right now. Just stick to a cheap, gentle face wash, you'll need that money for hospital tests and delivery packages anyway!

I got so many breakouts, and my mother told me it's just 'pregnancy glow' in disguise! She made me a simple ghar pe besan and curd pack which really helped soothe my skin.

Oh my face looked like a teenager's skin again with my twins! Hormones are completely wild during this time, so breakouts are very normal. Just keep your face clean.
