do youdrink water? i broke out really bad when i was pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago. this time, ( i am 32 weeks), i drink at least a gallon of water a day, and my face, chest, and back have been fine. i have a girlfried of mine who always used that cetaphil (?spelling) wash. she swears by it. good luck though! ↑

Thanks Crystal for the reply! Yes I love water it is all I drink.. And I too have tried Cetaphil ( Its at the sink lol) I don't eat alot as it is and I def don't eat alot of junk.. I dunno how to fix it.. I wonder if a derm can do anything while pregnant? ↑

i guess talking to a derm would be worth a shot. like you said, the last thing you want is to have a "pizza-face" while gaining weight......lol. i asked my mom about it, and she told me to drink aloe water. whatever that is???? good luck to you though. i'm sure that no matter how many pimples or pounds you gain, you are beautiful. you're having a baby. we are all beautiful! ↑

Your best bet is to start using pro-active. Ya its the stuff you see on the commercials with Jessica Simpson...but it really works. I broke out so bad w/ my first pregnancy so I went to my doctor and he told me he wouldnt give me anything because some Acne medication is known to cause birth defects. In fact some Acne medication that is out there must be taken WITH birth control becasue of these birth defects. If Pro-active is too much money for you there is a generic brand they sell at walmart that works well too. I would also recommend using the marykay timewise facial lotion, so your skin doesnt dry out. I am 9 months along with my 2nd baby and have been doing this through out my whole pregnancy and have had no problems w/ acne. Good Luck! ↑

I would recommend a sensitive facial soap. Your skin is likely to irritate due to pregnancy. ↑

Dermalogica products are the best around! They're expensive, but they last for ages and really work! ↑
