Hello all IM's
I posted a few weeks ago about a possible positive pregnancy test, well it was positive! so very excited.
On to my next dilemma, I am 10 weeks today so my belly has started to grow slightly, now I am dealing with very very flakey skin, I have tried moisturizing body washes with and without a loofa, I have tried vitamin E cream, bio oil, triple moisture cream and nothing seems to be keeping my flakes at bay, i'm still working full time so have to wear business pants and every time I go to the loo its like my skin is snowing all over the place. its strange because my skin feels nice and supple but its flaking like its going out of fashion. I know that it is normal with a growing belly but I'm after any solutions for keeping it under control. please help!!!

What about a barrier cream like Bepanthon. It's also used as a nappy rash cream and it's fairly thick and slimy so you might need a singlet to protect your work pants but it would protect your clothes from rubbing your skin and might stop it flaking off until you get home and have a shower
Olive oil! Try adding some lavender if you like, but I covered myself with olive oil and had no stretch marks. Or coconut oil , if it's ok to eat it should be good! Need to put it on throughout the day. Much cheaper and safer than many products out there
