S-T-R-E-T-C-H-M-A-R-K-S?


I'm currently 1 day over my due date and have so far steered clear of developing any stretch marks.

It's probably because I have literally drowned my body in oils and lotions every single day since discovering I was pregnant.

I'd been using Lucy Bee's Coconut Oil pre-pregnancy and increased the amount when my skin started getting a little itchy (due to boobs/bump slowly growing, etc).
It does take a while to absorb and Dan said I felt like a slippery fish whenever I got into bed.  I put so much on that it turned the bed sheets an odd colour so you do need to allow it to sink in (but I'm too impatient for that).

Packing the Hospital Bag (ahem, case)


At 37 weeks pregnant, I'm currently in the process of packing my hospital bag which is a fun and slightly daunting process.

My snacks alone could fill up a suitcase but I've managed to rearrange things a little so that everything just about fits.

Before I continue, this is not a post explaining how to pack like Martha Stewart - I am the worst folder in the world.
But I thought it might be useful for any mums-to-be to see what I've included.  I've done a lot of research and these are the items that are repeatedly listed as the 'essentials'. Anything that's linked is the exact product I've got packed.

FYI Dan asked if I would like to pack my Kindle. He seems to think we're going on a spa break...
The Push Pack by Mama Mio includes a refreshing facial spritz and massage oil
