I don't know what else to do!

ok, when I'm pregnant my face tends to break out.. a little.. the first trimester and last in the last, however, since i got pregnant this time, my face has broken out.. unimaginally. ( If that is not a word, it is now) I have NEVER in my LIFE had this kind of problem, even as a teenager my face was fairly clear except during my period. I wash my face, I use clean and clear um.. some kind of cream on it. But I have very sensitive skin, and I have to be careful what I use or it will break me out even worse. Even makeup isn't covering some of it and I am getting embarrassed for even George to see me.

I wish I had an answer. I had the same problem, only most of mine was on my forehead and I could hide it with my hair.

i hope you can figure something out. at least it is only during pregnancy so there is an end in sight.

on another note, mabye it is all the extra girl hormones making it happen?

I've had some break outs on places other than my face. With Kate, I had really bad acne on my belly which is a right weird place to have acne scars. I don't know what to tell you on how to get rid of it. I think Andrea is probably right about it being hormones.

This is going to sound soooo crazy! But when I had these breakouts my mom's dr told me to use toothpaste, Yes.. Toothpaste.
She told me to rub toothpaste on my face, let it sit till it dries (It will feel icky) And avoid getting it to close to your eyes so it won't burn your eyes.
I did this and let it stay on about 20 minutes then rinsed it off. I did this all week the first time and it worked like a charm!
I still do it anytime I start to get breakouts. Apparently there is something about toothpaste that just really works to clean your face as well as your teeth At least it worked for me.

I am sorry, honey! I hope Andrea is right and it's due to all the girl hormones. That will make it all worth it! I wish I had some suggestions for you.

I generally have really clear skin. I broke out really bad with my daughter and not with the two boys. So maybe it IS a girl!!

geez I hope ya'll are right. I've heard that when pregnant with a girl.. you aren't as.. pretty as you were before pregnancy (NO offense to those of you carrying girls, you are all beautiful!) but seriously.. I am not as pretty as I was with the boys.

I bet it is a girl

For me it did work that way, when I was pregnant with the girls.. like they say.. they stole my good looks and when pregnant with my boy, I actually had what I thought never existed for me the "Pregnancy Glow"


When will you find out??????
