At first I was taking a regular CVS vitamin that was just one pill and was all that I needed. I decided to venture out and found these Health Mama vitamins at Target. They were kind of expensive for a 30 pack, but I said, what the heck. These don't make me sick at all but the taste is more noticeable than the previous vitamin that I was taking. It is doable though! It kind of sucks taking 2 pills, but again, anything for my baby. I was searching on Amazon when I was low on vitamins and found that they have a 60 pack available for the same price that I paid for the 30 pack at Target.
I've actually just started reading this book and my husband will be reading it as well. This book gives good tips on prepping your dog for the new baby acclimating your dog to the baby once it arrives. I'm not done yet so I can write a review when complete! :)
I got this pack of oil blends from Amazon from Healing Solutions and one of them that was included was the Good Night Blend. I diffuse it right before I go to bed and I swear it puts me right to sleep. I've been doing it every night and I feel like on the days that I forget, I don't sleep as well. It has Chamomile, Clary Sage, Copaiba, Lavender, Peru Balsam, Sandlewood, Sweet Marjoram and Ylang Ylang oils blended together.
Another essential oil: Good ol' Tea Tree Oil...this has been a medicine cabinet fave. I use tea tree oil for rashes and in my cleaning products that I create myself. I had read online that tea tree oil is good for blemishes, especially while pregnant. Of course, the hormones have started to run rampant and create pimples on my face. It may take a little longer to clear up, but my blemishes start to heal quickly without a scar. My husband even uses it now! :)
This was a fave of mine right when I got pregnant. Previous to this, I was using a product with salicylic acid, which isn't the best for pregnant ladies. So I did a little bit of research and found this Boots Botanics. I first loved it because it was 81% organic. Secondly, it's very hydrating. I have very dry skin in the winter and combination to dry in the summer and it works well for both extremes. I don't have to switch my moisturizer based on the seasons. I just apply more or apply less. It feels great on the skin and doesn't have an overbearing smell. My husband started using this as well on his sensitive skin.
Last but not least, the coconut oil. I had this jar anyway to make products for my husband for his sensitive skin. I then later found out that it was a great lubricant for stretch mark prevention. I have only been rubbing this on my belly for about a week now. I currently don't have any stretch marks so I can't tell you if it helps to diminish them. What I can tell you is that this keeps your skin soft and supple all day. It's not too oily and very absorbent so it won't stain your clothes. I rub this on my belly and boobs daily! I have also heard that closer to birth (like 6 weeks), a good tip is to start putting coconut oil on your lady parts to diminish tearing from child birth!
Hope you enjoyed the favorites. Let me know if you like it and want me to continue posting them!!
