Your Pregnancy Weapons of Choice...

I know everyone (& their mama) has a rememdy for everything. I find that being pregnant has brought on a slew of "situations" that I never had to worry about pre-pregnancy. I'll describe a few and what remedies I use... tell me yours!

Dry Tummy & Boobies:



I like to use Johnson's Baby Oil Gel (Shea & Cocoa Butter).

Pros: Not liquidy and messy, a little goes a long way, keeps skin moisturized over night (8+ hours)

Cons: Smells like cocoa butter (I personally don't like the smell), almost $4 for a small container


Constipation (don't act like you ain't never been constipated):


Fiber One Bars (Oats & Peanut Butter). I think that constipation should be treated daily by adding more fiber to your diet and not using a laxative one day to get all the "back up" out in a few trips to the restroom. That can cause worse problems like dehydration! These bars give you 35% of your daily nutritional needs for fiber! And they actually taste great, not like cardboard. The only con I can think of with this product is eat more than 1 in a day, you'll be taking the Browns to the Superbowl over and over and over again!



Dry Face:


We all know that being pregnant causes a rollercoaster ride of hormonal changes in your body, right? Well, when we were those pre-pubescent girls on the verge of getting our monthly gift we know that our face changed upon receiving this "gift" right? Well, it's the same for pregnancy. I'm usually an oily to very oily person (the only pro in that... not too many wrinkles when you age), but as soon as my BB started taking over my body, my face became drier and drier. I never had use for facial moisturizers before... my face was a moisture-making-factory (gross!), but now, if I don't apply moisturizer, my face feel like a facelift in Antarctica... tight and dry! I like the Clinique moisturizer because it doesn't have a fragrance and it's just right for my face and it lasts all day. It also serves as a great base for my powder foundation. The only con about this product is... NOTHING! I love it!



This is all I have for right now... what are some "situations" that you go went through (or are going through right now) and what are/were your rememdies?
