Actully YES, acne happens because of all the hormonal changes in your body when you are pregnant.

Yes, I have never had acne and it was very rare for me to get even 1 pimple but from 5 weeks pregnant to around 11 weeks my face broke out terribly, but now it's all clear again. Once your body gets used to the hormones racing around, it should settle down.

Ditto! Lots of acne near my chin and jaw line. Never had acne before until I was preganant, that was one of my first signs of pregancy.

Are pimples common during pregnancy?

Pregnancy can trigger acne or make existing adult acne worse. (On the other hand, some women with acne-prone skin report a decrease in breakouts during pregnancy, so you never know.) Higher levels of hormones called androgens are at least partly responsible for pregnancy breakouts because they can prompt the sebaceous glands in your skin to get bigger and boost production of an oily substance called sebum. This extra sebum, combined with the shed skin cells that line your hair follicles, blocks your pores, creating an environment in which bacteria can rapidly multiply. All this can eventually lead to the inflammation and skin eruptions of acne. Acne during pregnancy can be mild, moderate, or even severe, and it can occur at any time during the pregnancy. It may come and go, or it may last the entire pregnancy.

Can pregnancy cause your face to brake out?

Yes, acne is common in pregnancy. You tend to have acne during pregnancy because of all your horomones. It's just a way of your body telling you that hey you are pregnant break outs will go away after the baby comes. Just clean your face throughout the pregnancy. If you don't see a change after the baby has come you may want to go to your local family doctor, or dermatologist. Good luck!!
