Recently pregnant for the second time and due in February I am just emerging from the disgustingness of the first trimester and blossoming into a ragingly hungry, rapidly expanding, horror-monally challenged gestational goddess!
And a Gestational Goddess deserves Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil!
More to the point, I am expanding. In the belly area. And it is fast and furious this time, and happening much sooner than my first pregnancy, which I hear is normal. I look now, at 13 weeks like I did the first time at about 17 weeks. I can already feel my belly skin getting tight so it's time to start lotioning up!
I used a variety of products last pregnancy and escaped stretch marks completely. (Please don't hate me.) I'm not so sure I'll be as lucky this time around, but I'm doing my best to get ahead of the problem.
I am LOVING, and I cannot emphasize with how much love it is that I am loving this Burt's Bees Mama Bee Oil. Also a plus, it is Phthalate- and paraben-free.
It smells fabulous, lightly fragranced with sweet almond oil, a personal favorite of mine, and enhanced with hints of citrus, it is light and not at all sticky. I apply it to my belly at least once a day, usually when I slip into PJs, and so far, no stains on my clothes. I could use this on my entire body, legs, arms, hands and all. I can't speak for the prevention of stretch marks because I've got a lot more stretching to do, but for now, I love this natural product.
I bought it at Target for about $7.99. It is also available on Drugstore.com and from the Burt's Bees website.
