Hello,
The acne development cannot be predicted 100% in all patient.
However as you have positive history of acne in last pregnancy this time also there is chance of acne in pregnancy.
You can apply topical clindamycin gel over acne.
But don't take any oral medicine without doctor advise.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
