Could acne be a sign that labor is soon to come? My face has been pretty clear up until about a weeks ago when I started getting some acne here and there. Gradually throughout the week my acne has gotten much much worse. My chest back and face are covered and the acne on my face is very painful. Could this be a sign that my body is building up the hormones that lead to labor? I had to be induced with my son at 29 weeks due to preeclampsia but by the next day after I had him I was extremely broken out so I am hopeful.
