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.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
