How many of you experienced acne while pregnant with a boy and not a girl?

Karli
We haven't found out the sex yet,  but the old wives tale says acne is most common with girl's…do you ladies agree?  I'm pretty sure I'm having a boy otherwise, but my skin is usually very clear. But since Iv been pregnant it's been worse than ever. I'm 12 weeks 1 day :)

I'm having a boy :) currently 27 weeks and my face is horrible :-/ I honestly believe it's all about your body's hormones and even diet as well... all the wives tales told me I was having a girl! So I was pretty shocked at the ultrasound lol but super happy either way :)

I'm having a boy & the first & second trimester my acne was HORRIBLE. The worst it's ever been. But it cleared up the third trimester.

My skin was flawless pregnant with my daughter. I got tons of compliments. Now I am 5 weeks pregnant and my chin looks terrible. I have huge cyst like pimples developing. I guess it all depends how your body react to hormones and I don't think it has anything to do with gender.
