Alway had struggle with my skin,even though in my 30 s tried all the skin stuff and had stuff from the doctor. Nothing had ever completely worked. Always had spots and once get rid of done they appear elsewhere.

Since coming off,the pill before pregnancy skin has got progressively worse. Now overdue and look like a,16 year old! Anyone else had this?

Feel like crap. Tell me it gets better.

I'm only 6weeks and already terribly spotty. Not just my face but also my back. It was the same in my first pregnancy. I look awful.
Better spots than extreme sickness I say...

I did, particularly in my first pregnancy. My neck and shoulders were the worst. It was still fairly bad at my six week postnatal check and the GP prescribed a rollon antibiotic which worked really well to clear it up.

I get horribly huge spots on my face during pregnancy, only time I ever get them and they are awful, always clear up after though xx

Cleo what pill were you on? I was on a pill for my skin as a teenager (Dianette) but when I came off it my skin was actually horrendous. Worse than horrendous. I wasn't pregnant but I think it's the coming off the pill that does it. Once it was out of my system I've not had a problem - an honestly if anyone was going to suffer with bad skin and pregnancy it would have been me!! I. On DC2 and skin fine.

I've become spotty under my chin, no idea why!

I'm 18+3 and have had terrible skin since about 10 weeks... it doesn't show any signs of abating either which is a bit of a bitch...

I became my spotty teenaged self up until about 18 wks, at which point it got a bit better but still frequent pimples. So much for glow!

Yes i have suffered both pregnancys with spots and as they progress so does the amount of spots

My skin is usually really bad, its only cleared up sine pregnancy which i was thrilled about. Im coming to the end now though and the spots seem to be making a reappearance. Gutted is not the word
