Pregnant Mum Skincare in General

In my first pregnancy, i was very concerned at the fact that i was going to be covered in stretch marks, like most womens are. I bought a few different lotions but the only one that seemed to do the trick was bio oil, after a good few months of applying before and after birth it did a excellent job. Although i still had a few stretch marks as i went really huge towards my due date but i suppose that cant be avoided. Only problem is the oil is very expensive, but it was worth paying that bit extra in the end. Another lotion that is well known to get rid of stretch marks is baby oil, it is cheap and also does the job. Also i found that my ...  Read the complete review

During my first pregnancy I was worried about getting stretch marks. So I rushed out and bouht all the expensive lotions and potions available in Boots which claim to be the best for stretch marks. But they were so expensive that I got put off buying a refil when mine had run out , so I just used baby lotion instead. It was my hair dresser that actually recommended that I try using baby oil. It was brilliant and worked really well. As it was, I still got few stretch marks but only in the last week because I was so huge!! I think a normal sized bump would have coped quite well with the baby oil and would have avoided the stretch marks. Another skin care product I used ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant I was obsessed with mine and the baby's health as most mums are. I would not use any chemicals, take any medication or alcohol. I was so bad I refused to have my hair dyed. I know it sounds extreame and when I look back I think "oh my god, how obsessed was I?" I would rinse the bath about 20 times after cleaning to ensure that i did not get any chemicals on my skin and used roll on deodorant. (told you I was obsessed) About 4 months into pregnancy I began to itch like mad. It did not help that it was 93 degrees and I was still having to wear my white coat at work. I spoke to my Doctor and he gave me E45 which was as ...  Read the complete review

Now, when I was pregnant, I must admit that I had a lot more worrying things on my mind than the state of my skin, although state probably is the word to describe how my skin was at the time! Although I never used to do much more than slap a bit of soap and water on myself, all my friends have said that I (generally, we all have bad days!) have a great complexion...I rarely get spots, and although my skin can get dry from time to time, I never really worried about it. However, once I was pregnant my skin started going all to pot!! I was constantly coming out in spots, nothing major, just a few here and there, but when you've never ...  Read the complete review
