I had the same issue when I was in week 17? My entire skin barrier on my face seemed to be compromised as I felt stinging sensation when I applied the moisturer. I asked my beautician, she said it’s normal since I’m expecting and there’s some changes in hormones. I tried to be diligent and gentle when I’m doing my skincare routine and it got better after a month. It takes time for the skin to recover. Hope this helps! (:
I'm 10 weeks today, my skin is drier now especially on my legs and it gets itchy. I have always had acne prone skin but got way better over the last few years. But eversince I got pregnant, pimples pop everywhere especially at the chin and cheek area.
I'm a FTM too! Women are really something else, the sacrifices we make and the things we go through. You're right, media isn't showing the real pregnancy journey. Wishing you all the best mommy! Hugs! ❤️
