I WANT THE BABY BUT NOT THE ACNE



During pregnancy our bodies change.  Our moods change. Our taste buds change.  And sometimes our skin changes. Being pregnant can be a roller coaster in many ways – especially the change to our hormones.

Hormones – like when we become teens change, and this can result in teen acne.  It can be a difficult time being pregnant and having acne, as a result of the pregnancy.  Being pregnant MEANS we have to be careful about what we use during the pregnancy as everything we do may have an effect on our unborn child.

Usually the first trimester (three months) of your pregnancy is when you will see the changes to your skin.  The good news is it does usually go away after the birth and in many cases it will probably improve and may even disappear during the last trimester. Breastfeeding is a great way to get on top of the acne problem, as it seems to settle the hormones. 

The biggest caution I can give you expectant mummies is NOT to take anything that hasn’t been approved to take during pregnancy.  Check with your doctor.
Keep your skin clean and eat a healthy diet.  Basically do everything you would do for a healthy pregnancy.

There is a product which has good feedback and endorsed to be safe during pregnancy. 

I am an advocate of natural products, but I know that for many going natural doesn’t help and they need stronger intervention.
