It is possible to get acne on your face when you are pregnant because there is no direct correlation between whether or not you have acne on your face and pregnancy. Although some people may have acne on their face related to abnormal sex hormone levels after pregnancy, not all acne in pregnant women is related to pregnancy itself. Some people who stay up late or eat spicy or stimulating foods, and some people who are often partial to food such as sweets, may have acne on their faces. Some people may have abnormal hormone levels due to excessive late nights, such as androgenic hormones that cause the sebaceous glands to secrete large amounts of sebum, which can also produce a certain inflammatory reaction if infected by pathogenic bacteria.
