Due to hormonal changes, your skin may lose some of its elasticity and oil. In turn, many pregnant women begin to experience dry skin. Since many conventional moisturizers contain harsh chemicals, which find their way into your bloodstream, it's critical to source an effective, all-natural moisturizer.

Since dry skin can also lead to stretch marks, arnica oil is a great preventative solution. You should also ensure that you're properly hydrated at all times - both for your skin and the health of you and your baby.

A Journal

There's only once in your lifetime that you will be pregnant with this child and to make the event memorable, many women like to document their journey. What better way than a pregnancy journal?

Document how you feel, what you experience, the date your baby first kicked, and anything else that's important to you and your family. After they're born, you can continue to document your time together. Also, collect significant mementos that you'd like to tape or glue into your journal for a more memorable experience. Reflecting on these times in the future will be extremely sentimental.
