My skin was really clear and nice for pregnancy 1 and 2. Not oily like it usually is when I'm not pregnant.
It isn't that great for this pregnancy. No breakouts but I have red patches, dryness and it is really sensitive. I am only 18ish weeks so maybe I still have time to achieve a glow!

Perfect for my first, awful for my second. Three months pp and it's just getting back to normal.

So far so good with both pregnancies. I haven't had many breakouts which is great! After my son, it got super dry though.

Mine is not good! I have problem skin to begin with (eczema and rosacea), but I normally do not get much acne that sometimes accompanies rosacea. Um...not the case with pregnancy! I have so many breakouts on my face. Thank God for makeup.
I'm 18 weeks, too!

I broke out in the first tri with my first, my skin's been totally normal with my second, albeit dry (which is typical in the winter). My weird skin disorder was also worse the first time around, but it's picking up steam at the end of my third tri.

My skin was terrible with lots of acne in the first trimester. Then magically my skin was 100% clear during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters (which is atypical for me pregnant or not)!

i had some bad cystic zits during both first trimesters. the first pregnancy was a lot worse though, with incredibly oily skin.

I guess it's been pretty clear since becoming pregnant. Didn't think about it til just now. Though, there is a red spot on the tip of my nose but I just applied some lotion and it went away for a few hours.

It's delightful. As is my hair. I can go like 7 days between washes versus my usual 3 or 4. It's awesome.

I had the best skin of my life when I was pregnant. It's still pretty good postpartum.

It was like I was going through puberty again. Lots of breakouts. My hair was awesome, though!

The opposite of you, OP! My skin is normally fine but this pregnancy it is SO OILY! Ever since the TWW (I am 7+1 now). I am getting facial tomorrow in fact! I need a solution!!

It's been pretty good! Just the very occasional blemish on my jawline.

Mine is good - pretty much the same but with almost no breakouts! Before I would get pimples a week before my period.

My skin has been clear like it always is but SO dry. Always flaky or peeling. Yuck.

I've never had an acne problem, just severe dry and sensitive skin. Pregnancy has made my staple face wash too harsh for my skin. So, I've switched to Fresh Soy face cleanser, but now I feel like my skin isn't clean! No breakouts though. Everyone says my skin is glowing

It was horrible during first trimester - huge, cystic pimples and awful breakouts. Now, its just really, really dry.
