What's a good "natural" body moisturiser that's safe to use when you're pregnant?

Sorry to say that wheatgerm oil is NOT good for stretchmarks - even if you could buy some that had not already gone rancid. Most if what is available has already gone rancid which is why it smells so bad. Sweet almond oil is very good as the others have said but the absolute best is shea butter or shea butter oil. It contains phytosterols which help skin cells replicate very fast which is why you don't form stretch marks when using it.

Superstarpen is right however about the programme Sarah Beeney did and she loved the products that we sent her that are easily made at home. I cannot resist the obvious plu either that I am running a course on 19th and 20th February to make your own skincare products in Nunhead. Shameless plug over but even if you don't come on the course, start using shea butter right away and I wish you well.
