Breakouts and Veins


My skin is terrible.  My face is getting full of pimples.  Itchy pimples and my face is dry.  Super dry and flakey.  I always used to have great skin.  I never wore make up because I never had to.  I always had smooth clear skin which I appreciated.  Now it’s awful.  I started using moisturizer but it doesn’t seem to be helping so far.  I had heard pregnancy was supposed to make your skin super soft, smooth and glowing.  Definitely not the case with me.  I also noticed that there are dark blue veins all over my chest and breasts.  I think they were always there but now they are big and dark.  Very noticeable.  All I need to do is draw some stitch marks on them and I’d look like a Frankenstein monster.  I looked it up and it’s all normal.  I guess you produce 20-50 percent more blood when you’re pregnant so your veins enlarge to accommodate for the increased blood flow.  It all goes away after you have the baby so nothing to worry about.  Though I wasn’t really worried.  Just kind of surprised.
