for mommies & moms-to-be

Three and a half years ago, when I first discovered that I was pregnant, my mind was filled with a mixture of joy and concerns, with more of the latter. Many articles had reported the possibility of a plethora of minor problems accompanied during pregnancy such as backache, swollen legs, heartburn, insomnia and skin changes. Drifting back a little, I was excited to experience motherhood but was worried about hormonal changes, morning sickness, a bulging belly, pain and stretch marks!
I believe prevention is better than cure so while it is true that part of the appearance of stretch marks can be linked to genetics, expecting mothers should still maintain a healthy diet during pregnancy. Your diet should include less fatty foods, fried foods or processed foods with focus on more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and cereals, healthy oils like coconut oil and flaxseed oil, lean meats and healthy snacks.

But what if you have missed out the good diet, put on too much weight during the nine months and ended up with unsightly marks and lines called stretch marks. What about those scars left if you need to undergo a C-section? Bug & Pickle launches Belly Firm , an established and popular online store with moms-to-be and mommies. Belly Firm is 96% natural and made with no synthetic fragrances and colour. It contains only essential oils Jasmine, Grapefruit, Mandarin and Patchouli which are known for its firming properties and healing of scars. The oils help lift up the mood and spirit of every new mom who may undergo a period of postnatal depression. Apply it twice daily on your bums, boobs, thighs, belly and watch how your skin heals with the Vitamin C and E used in Belly Firm.

Check out also on the moisturizing Belly Cream, made of shea butter and nourishing vegetable oils, with Vitamin E and grapeseed oil to prevent stretch marks. This product has won raving reviews from mommies who have tried and benefited from the product. The baby products are equally popular especially the diaper gel, which is favored by most moms who tried it. The essentials gift pack is perfect for new or expectant moms or a baby shower celebration.
