I can't stop worrying
I'm going to be 12 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. Which is thrilling...except I've really started to worry the last few days. My whole pregnancy I've been very sick. Morning sickness wise at least. Well, that continues. BUT, I've started getting migraines and my face is breaking out like crazy. This is all stuff that was happening BEFORE I got pregnant. And now I've freaked myself out and I'm terrified I've lost the pregnancy. Which probably doesn't make sense since I continue to throw up every morning. But, I'm worried. Why the sudden headaches and acne?
I know this probably sounds crazy ladies, but I knew that if anyone could help me through it, it would be you guys. Part of me just thinks it's because I haven't been to the doctor in weeks. We don't go back until October 3rd and that's for our prenatal testing. Then we go back again October 17th to meet our perinatologist.
Sorry, I just had to vent and try not to make myself crazy.

I\'m so sorry you are battling migraines on top of morning sickness friend. ugh!! Have you asked your doc if there is something specific you can take for the headaches that is safe? As for the acne that is something I had too. It\'s all part of the pregnancy unfortunately. I used gentle scrubs and things that helped a little bit and some months where worse than others but It was just something I had to put up with. I photo shopped the zits out & airbrushed my face in the preggo pics that we did for our Christmas card that year.
I hope the doc can ease your mind on things when you go back in Oct. I hope you feel better soon *HUG!!
Acne is not uncommon, and I know my SIL had headaches so I would say that might just be part of your pregnancy. Stay positive and please don\'t panic. Things are looking good so far focus on the goal.
I\'ve read that both acne and migraines are pregnancy symptoms :/ If it makes you feel any better, my acne started last week ... Keep your head up, friend. It\'s hard to go from being able to talk to our REs about this in a heartbeat to not seeing our doctors for weeks on end. I\'m sure you and your kiddos are plugging along just fine :)
I started developing headaches, mainly migraines around 13 weeks. Its just a change in your hormones. You can take magnesium to help the migraines. Just do not take more than 2 a day since they can give you the runs too, LOL.
And acne is totally normal in pregnancy too. I have wonderful chest acne that I can not get rid of no matter what I do. Hormones do crazy things to us.
oh and women with more morning sickness have a lower risk of miscarriage too. So that is a really good sign you have been so sick.
