Pregnancy Acne

[magda]

Hello, I found Wai's diet this summer and followed some of the principles--not 100%, but I noticed some improvement.

Well, now I'm pregnant. My acne and eating habits have been very bad. Initially my aversions to uncooked foods were very strong. The hormones are crazy and the acne might be the worst of my life (which is very bad).

Being pregnant, I'm not to eat any raw meats, my books on pregnancy say. No sashimi, no eggs - everything must be cooked. My cheeses, yogurts and juices must be pasturized. As this is because I am said to have an increased risk of infection. I am not so sure I believe these pregnancy books of mine, but I'm not in a position to gamble. I also don't know a lot about nutrition.

Does anyone have any advice for me? Any opinions or insight about acne during pregnancy?

Here is a post from the old Q & A board about diet and pregnancy:

Maybe RRM (one of the authors of WaiSays) would have some relevant advice. I know too little about it.

Who said that you are at increased risk for infection? and why?
