pregnancy acne - does it mean I'm having a girl?

[tsom]

15 weeks now and quite a bit of acne - with ds1 and ds 2 I don't remember this - ?anyone had pregancy acne and had a girl?

[bootus]

Was covered in zits and had boy. was worth it tho

[controlfreakinfreaky]

50% chance, i'd say...

[joyfuleyes]

I've has terrible skin with two of my pregnancies - both boys.

[belgo]

Maybe. maybe not. That's one theory I have never heard.

[LilRedWG]

My spots cleared up totally in pregnancy and I only get the occassional one now - I have a gorgeous two year old girl.

[gem1981]

i usually have bad skin that is prone to the odd erruption

anyway both pregnancies skin cleared for the duration and both boys.

[thejesta2]

Not heard that one before but have had really bad spots around my mouth and jaw and am expecting a girl

[PortAndLemon]

Yes, it means you're definitely having a girl. Or a boy...

I have one of each and there was no difference.

[swampster]

Yes, it has been scientifically proven that zitty pregnant women invariably have girls.

[SoupDragon]

You are simply clinging to any small difference in the hope you get a girl.

[EBenes]

Skin cleared up - I had a girl.

[Beauregard]

I had loads of zits both times and have 2 girls.

[onepieceoflollipop]

I usually have greasy skin prone to lots of shininess and odd spots and I am 37.

During both pgs my skin was normal/dry with no spots - and I had two little girls.

terrible acne - a girl

[PavlovtheDog]

Not necessarily - I had a girl and had the best complexion I have had in my life!

[PavlovtheDog]

Lilred - are you me?!

[mumof3bs1more]

Hi I know exactly what you mean i am 16 weeks pregnant and have the worst acne ever!I've had 3 boys had a abit of bad skin but that was nothing compared to this!I find out the sex of my baby next week hopefully as am booked in for a scan so i will let you know if theres any truth to the old wives tale about acne meaning your carrying a little girl!

[Tinasan]

Nope, i had briliant skin when I was pregnant with my DD, and was quite spotty beforehand. Now pregnant with a DS and my skin is terrible. So I'm experiencing the same symptoms as half the posters above. So you could be having a boy. Or a girl.

[maretta]

I've got boy boy girl and my girl pregnancy was the only one I had spots with.
Could just be coincidence.
