Pregnancy acne

Has anyone got any tips on how to reduce acne? I’ve never really suffered with spots and I’m really suffering. I’m using tea tree products and skin care. But as soon as I think I’m getting somewhere it flares up again 😞. Also know that there’s theories that if you suffer with spots it’s a girl has anyone ever found this? 🤍

The only thing that’s helped with mine (and it took me 3 weeks of trial and error) is the tropic skincare range
I use the clear skies cleansing powder which turns into a face wash and then the tamanu balm, and it cleared my skin up within 5 days, hope you find something that works for you! X

I’ve suffered with acne since I was 17 & the best thing I’ve used is a benzoyl peroxide gel. You can get tubes from eBay. X

I’m the exact same! I’ve had a few weeks without and now they’re appearing again 🤣 my skin just seems so much better when I don’t wear make up or use anything on it! I use a tea tree face wash and target gel but that’s about it, I feel like because it’s hormonal it’s hard to get rid 🙈 I also don’t know the gender xxx

Keep it simple. Mine is finally settling down after 17 weeks. I’ve been a using vitamin c cleaner in the morning and then again at night with an oily skin wash (la Roche posay).
I was packing my skin with products and it was just making it worse...tea tree oil made me break out.

Omg. Story of my life!! I thought the second trimester was supposed to be the one where you glow with lovey skin? Yet, here I am with spots all over my face when I’ve never had issues before!

Hello, I’m currently 15 weeks and have suffered from bad pregnancy acne and I got cream from the doctor which helped clear it up slightly but I’m also using the tropic skincare products which are all natural and seem to be working to help my skin 😊x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
