Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms, Week by Week Pregnancy Guide

When it comes to pregnancy you should know that there are a lot of non-specific signs.

So, is breaking out a sign of pregnancy? A lot of women say that during their pregnancy they were breaking out just like they did during the teenage years.

Seeing the doctor

Since you can’t fight the problem alone most probably you will see a doctor. He or she can tell you that the majority of the women break out along the jaw line.

The problem is caused by the changing hormone levels and the bad news is that there is not much that you can do about it.

Any treatment?

Although there are a lot of products on the market that is said to help with breakouts, don’t forget that they are based on chemicals.

During pregnancy it is best to avoid exposure to such substances, so all there is left for you to do is to wash your face daily.

When doing so make sure that you fight breakouts during pregnancy with a mild soap and lukewarm water.

Avoid hot water because all it does is to strip the skin from the natural oils making the outbreaks even worse. Also don’t wash your face too often, it is enough to do so twice a day.

Besides these tips, you could also change often the pillowcase. This may be important to avoid the irritation of the skin by the impurities that can be caught in the bed lining.

In the same time try not to touch your face with your hands too often, because they could be dirty. Your hair shouldn’t be in your face either, especially if you have greasy hair. This is because it could also irritate the skin.

The good news regarding breakouts while being pregnant is that you will get rid of them after childbirth.
