I have tried to keep up with business as usual, but there are some things that I know will have to change. As bikini area shaving gets more difficult, I will switch to waxing. I prefer waxing anyway but have been trying to save money. Since my hair is doing so great on prenantal vitamins I have switched to a 2 in 1 shampoo. As my doctor has recommended, I have been taking more baths to soak my hips and back and it is getting more awkward to shampoo and condition my hair. I was just wondering how everyone else has altered their normal routine and if anyone has any tips they might want to share to help make life easier

I spray my perfume on my clothes and not on my skin. Anything to keep toxins away from the miracle growing inside me!
I have become lazy! I promised myself yesterday to take better care of my hair and skin. My hair is very full right now, but very dry, due to swimming. I want to use a rich hairmask at least once a week, and maybe some hair oil. And yesterday I have switched my moisturizer to a richer one, since my skin has gotten dry and flaky. I am planning on using almond oil on my belly and back every night, not 2-3 times a week as before.
I wash my hair every 2-3 days, otherwise it gets too dry, and I think I'll keep doing it. Other than that, not much...
