Week 6 Pregnancy Tips

Smooth and Healthy Skin While You're Pregnant


Hi Hernee,

Pregnancy hormones cause huge changes to almost every part of your body, including your skin. Here are some tips to help keep your skin normal and healthy:

Check your normal beauty products
Check the products that you normally use when you're not pregnant. You may find that some products are unsuitable for pregnant skin.

Stop using soap
Soap removes oils from the skin, so use a moisturizing body wash to maintain essential oils in pregnant skin.

Take short baths
Prolonged baths dehydrate the skin. Use a moisturizing bath soak to re-hydrate.

Protect your skin
While you are pregnant, your skin may tan or burn more easily. Use sunscreen
and other products with UV filters, and make sure you pay special attention to exposed areas such as your face and hands.

Is Caffeine OK While You're Pregnant?

Received pregnancy tips from Parenting Weekly.. Enjoy reading!
Hi Hernee,You should avoid drinking large amounts of caffeinated beverages while you are pregnant. While there is no solid proof, strong evidence suggests that large daily doses of caffeine during pregnancy may increase the occurrence of miscarriage, preterm delivery and low birth weight. Instead of your morning latte, try the following decaffeinated beverages:

>>
Herbal tea (i don't like!)
>>Decaffeinated coffee (i don't like any type of coffee)
>>A mug of warm, low-fat or fat-free milk (i like!)
>>Sparkling mineral water (i like!)
