Does anyone else have facial breakouts and bad hair during pregnancy or is it just me?
With my first (and only so far), I had bad skin and great hair! My hair was fuller anyway, which is great, because I have thin fine hair normally. I have rosacea AND acne, and one sign that I had gotten pregnant was that I went from being almost completely clear (it had taken a few years to get my rosacea to basically go into remission) to instantly looking terrible, and painful. This persisted throughout prengnacy and afterward. 10 months later, after the baby was born, my face is starting to finally improve a bit.
I literally have about 10 zits on my face right now! My upper back is also full of zits. Some of them are so big that they hurt. I never used to get zits. I would get one or two when I got my period when I was a teenager, but rarely got them after that. I look awful. As for my hair, it just sucks. I will wash and dry my hair and it is still greasy looking right after I wash it. I can’t win. I’m only 6 weeks so I hope it doesn’t keep getting worse. I guess we can’t all get the goods things like perfect hair and skin from pregnancy. As long as we have perfect babies, I guess it will be worth it.
