Let these three experiences inspire you to develop pregnancy self-care. I deliberately call it "self-care"; in my opinion, "care" wouldn't be holistic enough. Many women begin to care for their bodies and minds on all levels, at the very latest during pregnancy.
Amaru on her pregnancy care with shea butter
"Moment of truth: I have to admit that I used to not take care of my stomach area at all until I got pregnant and my skin started to feel tight around that area. Whether we chalk it up to a fear of stretch marks or a desire to wear bikinis again or whatever, this pregnancy has made me take a little better care of my whole body. As I felt my skin heroically stretch to make more room for my baby, I became more and more conscious of moisturizing and nourishing my belly skin as well."
"The SHEA YEAH Body Butter Orange not only feels like stepping into a tropical paradise, but it also leaves my skin feeling soft and pampered. SHEA YEAH is a brand I absolutely admire because their entire brand experience is so well executed."

Aline on rituals & massage during pregnancy
"'Now you have to moisturize Aline's belly every night,' my father said to my boyfriend when he found out I was pregnant. My boyfriend rubbed SHEA YEAH shea butter , of which I've been a fan since the brand was launched, on my belly and breasts every night before bed. It was a lovely ritual, giving the little creature in my belly my full attention every day. SHEA YEAH was exactly what I wanted; the scent is very pleasant; when you're pregnant, some things can smell too much. The result is flawless; I don't have a single mark on my belly, and I'm overjoyed."

Healthy skin care during pregnancy
If you haven't already discovered natural cosmetics for yourself, many women begin to embrace natural and safe ingredients at the onset of pregnancy. We've also dedicated a blog post to this topic .
