Bad skin during pregnancy???
Yes, my skin is currently acting like it never has before (I'm 15.5 weeks pregnant). I've had severe allergic reactions to a couple of things, although I've never had sensitive skin before, %26amp; the skin on my face is red %26amp; hot. My doctor isn't worried (apparently you can become more sensitive during pregnancy because of all the hormones) but it isn't making me feel too great about myself!! I'm going to buy some sensitive skin products %26amp; cross my fingers that I start to look like normal (or even better, get that pregnancy glow I keep hearing about!!).
Reply:You condition is unusual - pregnancy often has the opposite effect. Ask your GP to send you to a dermatologist asap.
Reply:Lots of pregnancies include bad skin periods. Although your situation sounds pretty bad. I am 16 weeks pregnant and have really dry flakey skin at the moment, other women may have had really greasy skin too, so it is normal to get bad skin.


Not sure about the eczema though, my neighbour has eczema and it always gets worse whan she is pregnant (6 kids), but as I say she already has it.
