Anyone else suffering with pregnancy acne?

My skin has always been acne prone but has been generally fine the last few years bare the odd spot or two. I’m 10 weeks now and my face has just erupted in little red spots and some big nasty ones on my jaw 😢 alongside the nausea, bloating and extreme fatigue I now also feel really ugly and spotty too :( It’s worse that not many people know I’m pregnant yet so they probably just think I’ve put weight on and let myself go a bit. Feel very down! I guess is this normal? Anyone else also suffered with this?

Yes I have the same, I never had acne this bad even during teenager ages

I have the exact same feeling I look so ugly and bloated and just feeling horrible. I have a close friends birthday to come up and decided to go for blow dry and make up at the salon because I feel like that’s the only thing that might cover all the acne and ugliness that appeared Also 10 weeks now.

@Iryna :( I’m sorry you’re also going through it, grateful in a way that it isn’t just me though. So hard to be positive / excited when all these symptoms are so rough! How many weeks are you?

I had bad acne too! It seems to have stopped now. I'm 9 weeks now. However I feel so naseaus all day and bloated x x

Yes same all along my chin / jaw/ neck and cheekbones

@Kate :( do you think it’ll get better? My partner is being so sweet but it’s really knocked my confidence!

I had this weeks 10-11. Now 12 weeks and it's clearing up 😊

Same. It will clear up in the next few weeks

Definetly spottier. Had a few random back spots too never usually get 😬

It’s completely normal as ur hormones are changing with growing the baba xxx

Has your doctor said they can give u anything? Xxx

I have, at the bottom of my cheeks / jawline, think it must be the change of hormones but hoping it doesn’t last too long!!
