Are pimple breakouts normal during pregnancy?

The primary cause of acne when you're pregnant is the increased hormone levels in the first trimester. The higher level increases the skin's production of natural oils. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/acne-during-pregnancy-treatments-causes Please do not attempt to treat the acne yourself without advises from gynae as the acne cream might contains substances that causes birth defects.

Yes, the hormones in your body are changing so do not be alarmed if you have sudden breakouts! It is a myth that is if you often have breakouts, you'll have a girl (coz only she can be pretty haha) and if you are having a boy, you'll have good skin (thus the term mummy's boy). It's proven to be true for both my kids :)

thanks
