A few options: For over the counter methods try using products that have benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alcohol, and acetone. For prescription treatments you may be prescribed antibiotics, retinoids or vitamin a derivatives, azelaic acid, oral contraceptives, or spironolactone. Always ask a dermatologist about the possible affects and the risks vs benefits of each treatment. Make sure it's best for you.

Keep clean: Pregnancy can cause many hormonal changes and the face and skin can become more oily and prone to acne. Keep the facial area clean as often as possible. Benzoil peroxide washes can be helpful, but too many can be too drying. There are also topical antibiotic roll-ons or pledgettes that can be used to help as well. God luck.
