Breakouts

Has anyone else experienced their skin breaking out in early stages of pregnancy? My skin had been clear for a year or so after finding a good skincare routine (I used to struggle with breakouts) but over the last week or so has started to get bad again, I really don’t want to go backwards & hoping it doesn’t last for the whole pregnancy!! Any advice would be really welcomed 🫶🏼

With my first pregnancy I had really bad hormonal acne. I did use some of my not-pregnancy friendly skin scare as spot treatments during the first trimester once a week because nothing really helped and it was so painful. It got better during the second trimester and mostly cleared up by the third :) I had perfect skin with my second pregnancy so fingers crossed you feel better soon! I found it super difficult, all the bodily changes, the fatigue and the mental and physical discomfort of acne on top of everything!

I too had pretty clear skin before pregnancy. I broke out on my face & back(i never got back acne) around 24ish weeks is when it subsided & started to clear up, just focus on picking a simple skin care routine!
your body is fillllled with a lot of extra hormones, so keeping a simple/basic routine should help🫶🏼

Stressed

For whatever stupid reason we have decided that putting our house on the market and looking for a bigger place during the 3rd trimester is a great idea.. also switching my toddlers nursery so i am surviving by the day with estate agents, house viewings, paperwork, midwife appointments, settling in sessions at nursery, all while working full time.. i almost forget i also have a whole baby to buy and prepare for simultaneously too😅

Anyone else super stressed right now and can make me feel less alone?😂

10/7 baby became 9/14

Ms Harper couldn’t wait anymore. Due to hypertension we did a repeat c section early at 36 weeks 5 days. 5lbs 12oz and 18inches. Our lungs weren’t fully developed so we are in the NICU on a c pap. But we’re progressing every day! So hoping and praying by next week if not sooner we can go home 💗
