With my son I looked and felt great, but with this baby, its a girl :), I feel sour all the time and my face, back, and chest look like a pepperoni pizza ahaha. I have had all the 'wives tales' be true with her so far but I think it just depends on baby and hormones. Every pregnancy is so different. Hope this helps! :)

Im having a girl, skin broke out for the first 2 or 3 months, but suddenly cleared up completely. Not one pimple for 6 or so months. Ive had bad acne since I was 12 years old, now being 23, pregnancy is the only thing that helped with it lol!

Its crazy because I'm having the same issue. Have 2 boys and my skin was sooo clear during both pregnancies but now with this one I have bad acne the whole time. I find out in a few days what I'm having. But I did hear that its a sign of carrying a girl. We are hoping. Best of luck and we just have to remember that our skin will go back to normal once we have the baby. :)

I'm having a girl and I didn't have any problem with acne either. It's just an old wive's tale, but it sounds like you are hoping for a girl so I'll keep my fingers crossed:-)
