What can I do about stretch marks during pregnancy?
Although we can't do everything against stretch marks on the stomach, because part of it is hereditary, we can certainly reduce the stretch marks. When you are pregnant, your body undergoes a true transformation, it creates a small miracle. Your body changes inside and out, including your skin. Not only the composition of your skin (the glow!), you also grow and your skin grows with it. What is therefore important is that you support your skin in, among other things, its elasticity and moisture content. By applying natural and completely safe creams and oils, you support your skin. So you ensure that your skin gets everything it needs. Of course, you also pay attention to your diet, you eat healthy and you pay attention to mainly consuming your healthy fats. Your food has an effect on your body and therefore also your skin. This in combination with the right natural creams, you do everything you can :)
Is there also a natural and pure oil that I can use against stretch marks on my stomach?
Do you want to use only a pure oil against the (reduction) of your stretch marks on your stomach? Or are you looking for an extra oil that complements the above Stretch Marks oil. That is definitely there, namely Macadamia Oil! This oil is packed with EFA'S, essential fatty acids such as flavonoid acid (a rare acid that belongs to the omega-7 group) and linoleic acid (omega-6). It is also packed with vitamin E, A and B1, B2 and B3.

Is there anything you can do about swollen legs, ankles and feet?
You may not have had much to do with this yet, but a common ailment during pregnancy is swollen legs, feet and ankles. Some people experience this quite early in pregnancy, and many people experience it at the end of the 3rd trimester. Swollen legs are definitely not nice, so relief from this is very welcome. A few things you can do are:
- Keep drinking, hydrating is absolute key.
- Reduce constant pressure on your feet, i.e. sitting on the couch with your feet up.
- Limit caffeine intake if you drink this.
- Eat more proteins. If you eat too little protein, it is possible that you will retain more fluid. Think of cottage cheese and meat.
- Wear loose and comfortable clothing that does not reduce your blood circulation. You want to prevent this so that the fluid build-up does not increase in your legs and feet.
- Swollen feet are warm, cooling your feet in a cold bath or placing a bag of ice/frozen vegetables/fruit on the swollen areas is a relief.
- Don't cross your legs, avoid this if you can ;)
- Stay active. Sitting on the couch all day is not good for your health, even when you are pregnant. Keep moving, for example, go for a nice walk outside.
- Buy new shoes that fit your feet at this moment. Go for supportive shoes that are also good for your posture.
- Take good care of the skin on your legs and feet. Keep it in optimum condition and ensure that your skin stays hydrated. You don't want to have such dry skin that wounds or infections develop more quickly.
The team at Attitude has also come up with something that will provide relief for swollen and tired legs, and that is the Attitude Tired Legs . A real godsend for every pregnant woman!
Is there also a safe Body Lotion for use during pregnancy?
During your pregnancy, so much changes for you. Not only in your body, but also on the outside everything changes. It is a beautiful process that you are in, but you also start to wonder whether the care products that you normally use are actually safe for your little one in your belly. And a legitimate question, because so many harmful ingredients are used in care products these days. The reason is that it is cheap, but that does not mean that it is also good for you. Now it is important for the team of Attitude that they mainly make safe care products for the whole family that are also affordable. For example, they have also looked at what is in high demand among pregnant women, and body lotion is one of them.
Many body lotions contain Mineral Oils extracted from petroleum, Benzyl Alcohol and Dimethicone. These are all substances that you actually do not want to put on your body, let alone when you are pregnant. That is exactly the reason why the team developed a completely safe and wonderfully smelling body lotion especially for pregnant women. Which is not only safe for you, but also for your little wound in your belly. That is namely the Attitude Blooming Belly Natural Nourishing Pregnancy Bodylotion
