Yes, it is very common for pregnant women to have pimples. This is because of the increase in hormones in your body which increases the oil production in your face. The same thing that causes your face to "glow" when your expecting is the same thing that causes zits. The only thing you can do about it is wash your face more often.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Some women not only break out when they're PG. Some even hv dark patches on their skin. I had terrible acne before I was PG. My face looks like a scene frm Dante's Peak. After I conceived, my face immediately cleared up... till now. Hey! I'm still not gorgeous, but at least I dun hv sudden explosions during meetings.

Well I am pregnant with my 4th baby. My first 3 babies were boys and my face was fine. This time I am having a girl and I look like a 13 year old girl going though puberty!!

Some women really do break out a lot and even break out more than they did before they were pregnant. And sometimes the exact opposite is true....some women become glowing and don't break out at all.

For some women yes. When I was pregnant with my boy I had no problems with anything. But when I was pregnant with my girl I looked like I just hit puberty, I am still dealing with it and she is 2 months old!

God yes! You might as well get ProActiv now and use it twice a day. My skin always goes nuts after the baby is born, too. Good luck!
