Q: Paranoid About Miscarriage

I'm completely paranoid that everything happening to me is bad. Lol. Even more so now that almost my entire family knows about the pregnancy and now that i'm truly able to be excited about it.


I haven't been bleeding or doubled over in pain or anything like that, but i'm sore. I was actually ok this morning, but the past two days, my tummy has been sore when I woke up. Like i'd been doing sit-ups or something. I tell myself it's the changes going on in there, but it's hard to believe that that much would be changing this early. I'm only 11 weeks. Is this normal?


Also, and I don't think of this as a threat or anything, but i'm getting a lot of acne, just not so much on my face. I've gotten it on my neck and chest more... And I even have one pimple on my tummy. It's weird.

I'm an esthiologist..Which is someone who deals with the skin. I am right under a dermatologist. What I recommend you do is exfolliate the areas where you are breaking out. The best way is to use a gel cleanser and your louffa. When you hydrate..Use a water based lotion..The last thing you want to do is clog the pores more. And the most important thing is to not squeeze or pop and of the pimples. Doing so can spread the bacteria from one pore to another. This will cause mayhem on your body!! If it is really causing a negative affect on your outlook..Which I know it can do..Go to a day spa or a dermatologist. The will extract them correctly and give you more tips on how to treat and prevent breakouts!!

Ps...Stay away from salisylic acid while you're preggy..It enters the bloodstream through your pores and can have a minimal effect on your baby!!

Hope this helps...

Feeling a bit sore is pretty normal during pregnancy. You may not see a big difference in your tummy but your uterus is going through a lot of changes. Many pregnant women experience ance also because of all the changes in your hormones.
