I slather it all over my belly every night before bed. I had tried a couple other creams before this one but they left a thick greasy residue that I hated. The Mustela cream is basically like a location that absorbs into the skin really quickly, and a little goes a long way. Bonus, it smells amazing and so far no stretch marks \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.nordstrom.com\/s\/blanqi-high-performance-maternity-belly-lift-support-leggings\/3769802?cm_mmc=google-_-DSA_New-_-DSA_Generic_Maternity-_-DSA_Generic_Maternity_b&amp;rkg_id=h-b2fbdf67908bcf62c10aad694191fefc_t-1478909290&amp;adpos=1t2&amp;creative=92826015382&amp;device=c&amp;matchtype=b&amp;network=g&amp;gclid=CIWNkbf2odACFZSHaQodumkG9g\">Blanqi Maternity Support Leggings<\/a> \u2013 I looked online at a lot of different leggings and reviews and finally settled on these ones. They are sooo comfortable, not see through at all, and they have built in support for the ever-expanding belly. Right now I have told myself and that I\u2019m only allowed to wear them one week day per week and then on the weekends. If I didn\u2019t set that limit I think I would end up wearing them every day. For now, I\u2019m in jeans 4-5 days a week but I\u2019m sure as I near the end of this pregnancy they will become more frequent in my rotation.<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/vitafusion-prenatal-multivitamin-adult-gummies-90-count\/-\/A-12353429\">VitaFusion PreNatal Gummy vitamins<\/a> \u2013 These things are delicious and have everything in them to help your little one get the best start possible. I started taking these about 5 months before I got pregnant, knowing that we wanted to start trying in the summer. I had read that if you take them before you\u2019re actually pregnant (ones that contain a high enough amount of folic acid and these do) it helps to greatly reduce the risk of neural-tube defects. Also, after I got pregnant (first month of trying) I read that if you take prenatals for several months prior to getting pregnant it can help to reduce morning sickness symptoms. Not sure if this is actually true but overall I only experienced 3 weeks of morning sickness, it got pretty bad for a bit but I know it could of been a lot worse.<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/maternity-fashion-tank-top-liz-lange-for-target\/-\/A-15008910\">Maternity Tank<\/a> \u2013 I got this one from Target and literally wear it almost every day. It is super comfortable and I love that is shows off the bump. I still have plenty of room to as the bump really starts to pop over these last few months and I got my regular shirt size, small.<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/no7-beautiful-skin-day-cream-for-normal-oily-spf15-1-69-fl-oz\/-\/A-14227752\">No.7 Day Cream<\/a> \u2013 My skin had been really great throughout the pregnancy until about week 19. I started getting some breakouts and more oily skin throughout my t-zone. I started using this cream and it has helped to really reduce the oil without drying out my skin. I also got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/no7-beautiful-skin-night-cream-for-normal-oily-1-69-fl-oz\/-\/A-14227718?lnk=rec|pdpipadh1|related_prods_vv|pdpipadh1|14227718|0\">night cream<\/a> version as well. I\u2019ll definitely continue to use both post-pregnancy.<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adidas.com\/us\/superstar-80s-shoes\/S76535.html\">Comfortable (and stylish) shoes<\/a> \u2013 I saw these and instantly became obsessed. I had my husband get them for me immediately because luckily, he works for Adidas so I got them for 50% off. I love that they are not only super comfortable sneakers, but they can totally be dressed up or down. I wear a lot of black, like 80% of my wardrobe is black, so they fit in perfectly. And as I\u2019ve always said, shoes make the outfit \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><br>\n<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m 6 months into my pregnancy and these have been a few things that I have been loving.
