Honestly if you had good skin before then it’s likely hormonal so a cleanser probably won’t help (sorry to be the bearer of bad news!). How far along are you? My skin both times has been awful up until 14/15 weeks but then cleared up. I keep my skincare extra simple at the mo, because I do find it gets more easily aggravated, so just splash of water, simple moisturiser and spf in the am, and take make up off and moisturiser with a dot of face oil in the pm (plus i swear by running a green tea ice cube over my face before moisturising14 weeks today! Was privileged enough as a teen to never experience acne or spottiness at all, really. But my skin during pregnancyI always have spots and it doesn't matter what I eat or drink, I've been so spotty since about 6 weeks. Granted, spotty to me just means about 4 active spots, but more than I've ever been used to. Feel guilty for whinging as so many people suffer with worse but this is so out of the norm for me!
I don't wear any makeup, I don't use any products other than SPF, I don't eat a lot of fatty or sugary food & have given up soft drinks and coffee since finding out. Skin is so greasy and spot prone all the time! May have to break my rule and buy a cleanser or something 🥲
). With any luck yours will start to clear up soon!!squacksquack

So so sorry. Sending you a lot of love. Losses are so rough.The worst news today. Went for an early scan at 9w 4/5 days due to a bit of bleeding.
whikst they found a small fetus there was no heartbeat and it probably died at 6w gestation.
I haven’t miscarried yet and my body still thinks I’m pregnant.
I feel so let down and lied to by my body for the last 3 weeks- especially when the sickness and fatigue have been so bad.
I have another scan on 27/6 and just hoping my body lets it go naturally before then

3 mins-but the general advice is go in when you can’t handle the pain anymore

16w midwife appt tomorrow (I'm actually going to be 17+3) and so nervous about the doppler not picking up a heartbeat 🥲 I've felt flutters but my brain won't let me believe its the baby in case something is wrong! I wonder if I'll ever not be anxious during pregnancy

Has anyone had really itchy rashes on their arms and legs during pregnancy? Trying to figure out if it’s a weird pregnancy thing or possibly a reaction to something

Congratulations!New to this thread - 6 weeks pregnant with my first baby!what’s everyone’s thoughts on when to
tell people? My husband feels very strongly about not telling ANYONE until the 12 week mark post first scan. I am so excited though and just want to tell people, especially as we were trying for a while.
First preg the only person that knew before 12 week scan was someone my partner works with cos he told them when he was drunk
This time round I told my mum when I was around 5 weeks when i was upset about something else
and then people at work figured it out quickly because of my nausea
but we kept it a surprise for everyone elsescot_nursey003

How did it go? Did anyone appear suspicious?I have my first extended family barbecue today and I’ve still not had my 12 week scan. I don’t want to tell everyone yet so hiding this growing bump will be an interesting one, and not drinking will be even harder to explain
I have a family do on Saturday and so far only my brother knows, waiting until after 12 week scan to tell my parents. My brother told me today though that my mum noticed I had an alcoholic drink in one of my holiday photos on Instagram (she must have had to zoom in so far to see the label or Google the name of it as it was a French drinks brand
), so I reckon she’ll pick up straight away on the fact I’m not drinking.Chewycinema

I don't find them sore as such just tight and uncomfortable but I only really get them if I walk too fastDoes anyone else find braxton hicks painful? I'm almost 36 weeks now and going to bed feeling really crampy and uncomfortable. I've had an upset tummy today as well... it's starting to worry me!!! I'm going to time the contractions for 30 mins then try and get some sleep. My childcare are coming from a couple of hours away as well
