What can I do about stretch marks during pregnancy?
Although we cannot do everything against stretch marks on the stomach, because some of them are 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 does the composition of your skin (the glow!) also grow and your skin grows with it. What is important is that you support your skin in, among other things, its elasticity and moisture content. You support your skin by applying natural and completely safe creams and oils. So you ensure that your skin gets everything it needs. Of course you also pay attention to your diet, you eat healthy and you make sure that you mainly consume your healthy fats. Your food has an effect on your body and therefore also on your skin. This in combination with the right natural creams, you do everything you can do about it :)
We have two variants that have been specially developed for your stomach.
Is there also a natural and pure oil that I can use against stretch marks on my stomach?
Would you like to use only a pure oil to reduce the appearance of stretch marks on your stomach? Or are you looking for an extra oil that complements the above Stretch Marks oil. There definitely is, namely Macadamia Oil! This oil is packed with EFAs, essential fatty acids such as plamitoleic acid (a rarely occurring acid that belongs to the omega-7 group) and linoleic acid (omega-6). It is also full of vitamins E, A and B1, B2 and B3.
Nanoil Macadamia Oil is cold-pressed, 100% organic and unrefined. Nanoil is also officially ECOCERT certified.
How do I know if the nipple cream is safe for my baby if he swallows it?
When breastfeeding, it is always wise to take good care of your nipples, especially in the beginning. After feeding, immediately care for your nipples with the right nipple cream.

Is there anything that can be done about swollen legs, ankles and feet?
You may not have experienced this much yet, but a common ailment during pregnancy is swollen legs, feet and ankles. Some experience it quite early in pregnancy, and many later in the 3rd trimester. Swollen legs are absolutely not pleasant, so relief from this is very welcome. Some things you can do are:
- Keeping drinking and hydrating is absolute key.
- Reduce constant pressure on your feet, i.e. on the bench with your feet up.
- Limit caffeine intake when drinking this.
- Eat more protein. If you eat too little protein, you may 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 moisture does not increase in your legs and feet.
- Swollen feet are warm, cooling your feet in a cold bath or a bag of ice/frozen vegetables/fruit on the swollen areas is a relief.
- Don't cross your legs, avoid this if you could ;)
- Stay active. Sitting on the couch all day is not good for your health, even if you are pregnant. Keep moving, for example go for a nice walk outside.
- Buy new shoes that fit your current feet. Go for supportive shoes that are also good for your posture.
- Take good care of the skin of your legs and feet. Keeps the condition optimal and ensures that your skin remains hydrated. You don't want your skin to be so dry 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 solution for every pregnant woman!
Is there also a safe Body Lotion for during pregnancy?
So much changes for you during your pregnancy. Not only in your body, but also on the outside, everything changes. It is a wonderful process that you are in, but you also start to wonder whether the care products you normally use are actually safe for your little one in your belly. And a valid 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 good for you. Now it is important for the Attitude team that they mainly make safe care products for the whole family that are also affordable. They also looked at what is in high demand among pregnant ladies, 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 don't actually want to put on your body at all, let alone when you are pregnant. That is exactly why the team developed a completely safe and wonderfully smelling body lotion especially for pregnant ladies. Which is not only safe for you, but also for your small wound in your stomach. That is the Attitude Blooming Belly Natural Nourishing Pregnancy Body Lotion
