OUR FAVORITE STRETCH MARK PREVENTION OILS AND RUBS

Pregnancy is a time of growth. Our hearts seem to double in size with every kick and flutter, while the baby growing inside our belly inches toward maturity. And boy do our bellies grow. Outward, sideways, down, and around. While it is a magical adventure watching your body contort into positions and sizes you never could have imagined, taking care of the vessel that holds such life should not be forgotten. One of the most nurturing things a mom-to-be can do for herself is daily belly rubs with oils and creams. Not only does this put mom’s hands in touch with her developing little one, but it can help to prevent any unwanted stretch marks and discolorations associated with such a fast growth period. These are some of our favorite products to rub on those beautiful bulging bellies.
