Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
I've always had decent skin. I mean I would get a blemish here and there but it was always very clear.
Right now my skin is horrific. I have less than 3 weeks left. Hopefully my normal skin will return after the baby is born.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
I look like a 13 yr. old that just hit puberty. It is disgusting! I got some pimples in the beginning of my pregnancy with DS but it didn't last very long. This started around 8 wks and has gotten progressively worse and is much worse than with DS.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
Ugh my face is horrible, ever since about 6 weeks pregnant... sometimes it'll get better for a day or two and then BAM it's back even worse.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
I have exceptionally dry discolored patches of skin on my chin. I got them with DS as well. I have to put olive oil and very heavy moisturizer on my face to minimize the dryness and flaking. I got this when I was PG with DS as well.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
I have to say my skin does break out but since I have been pregnant, I have to say it has been looking really good. My hair is another whole story

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
YES, my skin was awful during first tri. as of now things seemed to have settled down (i am 20 weeks), but i'm sure it will flare up again in the third tri since things tend to go full circle like that.
it's annoying cause last pregnancy my skin was great!

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
Actually, it wasn't too bad until this past week (17 weeks) and all of a sudden I am a Mess everywhere...I have no idea what to do, I have these giant cyst pimples growing on my face and millions on my back and sides.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
yes, but unfortunately not only do I have pimples on my face, but on my back, as well-- I swear, with a combination of bloating, the constant nausea and vomiting, and the acne that reminds me of prepubescent teenager, I've never felt uglier.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
I had some breakouts in my first trimester. Since then my skin has been clear but it's as dry as the Sahara. I literally have to slather myself in oil everyday.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
Horrific acne  B4 getting pregnant my skin was not the greatest, I was on retinA and a oral antibiotic but I went off it when we started ttc and it was under control. Now I can't leave the house without putting cover up on, it sucks!

Ugh! i have the Same!!! They're not the kind you can pop (for the most part) they're just these huge cystic pimples. My face looks like a pepperoni pie, and i seriously am just thankful that i dont have to look at my back- feeling it grosses me out enough
Then there's the itchiness too! My skin isn't even dry when you look/touch it, but i'm soooooo itchy all the time. I drink a ton of water and moisturize like it's going out of style, but it doesnt seem to help at all.

Re: Has your skin gotten worse since being pregnant?
Yes! but the breakouts have been for the most part on my forehead, so I just cut some bangs the other week to cover them up
