Arrgh when I'm not pregnant I have spots because I have too much of the male hormones, and when I am pregnant I have spots because I have too many of the female hormones! I hate pictures of myself as it is and I am having such a difficult time getting pictures that I am willing to keep to help me remember my pregnancy. Has anyone found anything safe to use at our stage of pregnancy that works to get rid of spots? I have some sore red spots, but mainly clogged pores. Yuck!

ohhhh i totally sympathise with you! 
I had them quite bad before i was pregnant... for years infact!
but since ive been preg, theyve all cleared up!!!! thankfully!
I found that using all the topical creams etc made them worse, but ive found that oil of olay, regenerise face wash helps ALOT!!!!
Dont know if it will work same for everyone, but i swear by it!!
PS: are you having a girl, with you saying too many female hormones???

I made a post about this a couple of weeks ago. I used to maybe get one or two spots at that time of the month...Now...I'm covered!! My chest, my back, my face, it's horrible!!
The suggestion that came up most when I last posted was Simple face wash which hasn't helped my so far.
I hoping the weather stays mild coz there's no way I'm getting my red spotty bits out on show!!

Thanks... No, I meant the normal pregnancy hormones. Normally I don't have enough progesterone and have to take medication to give me SOME and that helps my skin. Now I guess I have loads and my pores are all disgusting. I think the only thing that is going to help me is a good extraction facial, which I can't afford, so ugly skin is here to stay!

i got a facial exfoliating sponge, which is like a rough spongy thing that you use with your facewash and it really really really helped me with my spots during pregnancy. when i first started using it it unclogged my pores and scrubbed away my blackheads which at first made me get more spots (just because my pores had all been opened up etc) but once i was using it for about a week my new spots started fading away and now i have hardly any!!!!
