Come on mamas. Anybody else out there have a complextion during pregnancy that resembles that of a 14 year old? What about hairs growing in some less than attractive places (boobs!). I know I can't be the only one that has these experiences with the hormones wreaking havoc on my body.

I had bad breakouts with my son, but oddly this pregnancy not at ALL really. it's so weird.

the breakouts stopped before 20w though, I remember that (20w I started work again finially...so it's my guide for everything. LOL)

I had a odd cyst with my son in my labia though. OWCH.
I had to do hot compresses to get rid of it...never had anything like it before.

Last night I discovered a painful bump on my perinium, probably a zit or something.

*sigh*
my poor undercarriage! lol.

Yeah, my skin looks like I'm going through puberty and it's not just my face, it's my BACK!!! I'm so mortified!

I already have the hairs (sigh) and just pull them out. Last time I got a couple of skin tags and I'm being super vigilant about them right now. I've noticed that if cut them off with nail clippers before they get too big, it doesn't hurt as bad.

Yes, I get bad zits in the first trimester, which usually go away for the rest of the pregnancy. I will not be sorry when they go......

And the belching all the time, I won't even go into that :

Yep, call me pizza face, and now my contact lenses aren't fitting right and I can see myself having to wear glasses very soon. No hair growth though, actually my hair gets finer and doesn't grow as fast which is a nice little bonus.

Yes, I have broken out bad this pregnancy, last one not so much.
And the hairs, ugh, I am not a hairy person, but I can sprout a few stray ones here and there. Its sooooo embarrassing!

hahaha..the belching and farting haven't started over here yet, but I *never* Can burp and fart...not audibly anyways...
When I was pregnant with DS though, I felt like a damn teenage boy. I could'nt STOP!!

Once I went to say something, and a burp just bubbled right up without warning *blush*

My skin is terrible with this pregnancy. With dd my skin was flawless. I am also plucking some ugly thick hairs out of my chin every week or 2:
I also feel like my deodorant is failing. I stink a few hours after showering.

You are speaking my language. UG. My face hasn't looked this bad since... I was pg with DS. So I am clinging to the hope that this means this little one is a sticky and a boy. I was driving MIL somewhere during her visit and she says, "Your face is bleeding." Checked the mirror, sure enough, blood all down the side of my face from one. At least she was very kind and understanding about it. DH had slipped and let her know that I'm pg even though we were going to wait. So MIL said, "I'm sure it is just your hormones." Errrrrggggggg.

Dude! I'm so there with you. I was laying on the bed the other day, having showered within the last couple of hours, sporting deodorant and I caught a whiff of funk...

I thought "What in the HELL is that?! Surely it's not..." Yes, it was. Me.

I am NOT a stinky person, usually. Wugh.

I stink, I burp, I fart, and I look like a 15 yr old with acne. Sounds like a boy to me. oh and if someone even thinks they might have a cold, I'll catch it, so I've been snotty this whole time too. I can't wait till I'm further along, I just hope it gets better, not worse.

Well, I'm relieved that I am not alone! I've got the back acne too! When I was in my teens I probably had a total of a dozen zits. Everyone of my pregnancies turns me into a pizza face/back. Yech!
