Is anyone else breaking out? My face is covered with pimples. I look like some greasy little high school kid!

Not yet, but last time I broke out for most of my pg. I looked AWFUL! The worst (for me) was that I had never been pimple prone before, and so I didn't know what to do! I think I overdid and made it worse

Yes!!! I NEVER get pimples and have had 4 on my face and several on my shoulders. Enough of a difference that my husband noticed and mentioned it to me.

With my last pregnancy (resulting in my youngest son) I had zits galore. This time it looks like I"m having them again and as much as its annoying, its good to know that I'm having hormone business going on. After my miscarriage any and all signs of pregnancy including zits and barfing are welcome!
My chin has been breaking out like crazy.
Add me to the pizza-faced teenager club.

What's this "pregnancy glow" I've heard about?

I have some too, though not any more than my PMS ones. The glow comes later for me though.
Oh no! I haven't noticed anything like that yet, but my face does seem overly greasy. Ick. I'm with wanderinggypsy - I kinda welcome the annoying and horrible symptoms of pregnancy for now just because I want to "feel" pregnant. I don't have a previous pregnancy to compare my symptoms to, so I get excited when I notice things are going on w/ my body that other pregnant women are experiencing too.

I'm also suffering from acne...feel like a teenager again. I have it on my face and chest. Think I may need to wear make up, something I dread doing in the summer.

I'm having some mild breakouts, getting some on my chest though yuck
I just did a search for what you can use when pregnant and it looks like the safest product is salycidic (sp) acid, to not use benzoil peroxide (sp!)
i almost never break out, so the few really big zits im been getting suck. I do know that besides the awful spots, that I have started getting compliments on how lovely my complexion is. I guess they are more noticeable to me...

I'm definitely NOT glowing...you could play connect the dots with what I've got going on over here.

Mine was, but I've been religiously washing my face before I go to bed and when I get up. I wash and then use burt's bees tomato toner and the blemish stick. My skin is clearer than it's been in a long time.

I've been drinking a TON of water...imagine how many trips I'm making to the bathroom now
...BUT, the good news is that my skin does look better. So, I guess it's worth running to the toilet every five seconds.

I've already had 2! I do have more breakouts when pg, but I didn't think that it happened this early with the others.
