As a midwife, one of the most common things mums ask me is, “What can I do to look after myself during pregnancy?” Many women experience dry, itchy, stretching skin and simply want to feel comfortable, nourished and like themselves as their bodies change.
As a mum myself, I understand those feelings completely. We spend so much time focusing on our growing baby that we often forget to care for ourselves too. But looking after yourself is important because when you feel nourished and supported, you’re better able to care for your little one.
Over the years, I’ve seen countless products promoted to pregnant women, and honestly, many don’t live up to the promises. That’s why I’m careful about what I recommend to mums.
Pregnancy & Baby Co’s Kakadu Plum Belly Oil is one of the products that has genuinely impressed me. Made with natural ingredients and enriched with Australian Kakadu Plum, which is naturally rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, it helps nourish and hydrate the skin while supporting elasticity throughout pregnancy.
I love that it’s gentle, beautifully nourishing and safe to use during pregnancy. It absorbs well, leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable, and the scent is absolutely divine.
Self-care during pregnancy isn’t a luxury, it’s an important part of supporting both mum and baby. That’s why I confidently recommend Pregnancy & Baby Co’s Kakadu Plum Belly Oil to the women I care for.
