Hello! What products have you found for pregnancy-related breakouts? Would appreciate any recommendations!

Particularly cleansers & moisturisers that are simple, pregnancy and acne safe

I have also been looking into dermalogica if anyone has any reviews?

Hormonal and angry in first trimester

Rant but also open to advice.

Currently 8 weeks pregnant. I’ve always been sensitive to hormones, and have PMDD (used to take SSRIs in luteal phase). I thought it would get better during pregnancy, but it just feels like luteal phase ramped up by 10,000

I’m so hormonal and upset and angry and hangry. Today I cried so much, and it’s not cute crying about a cute animal or food or something, it’s like rage and stress about everything in my life. This was a planned pregnancy but our finances just aren’t where we wanted them to be, so there’s a lot of stress at home. And normally I can pick up extra shifts as a nurse, but I’m just too exhausted.

Also, I feel bad that I don’t have many other pregnancy symptoms, I’m hardly nauseous, just have a stronger sense of smell and easier gag reflex. I feel overall lucky in the scheme of things. But I just hate this feeling so much. I feel this is the time of my life for me to be happy, but I’m so so so unhappy. Please tell me it gets better. I feel so bad for my partner.
