Pregnancy & Postpartum are two of the most delicate and special seasons of life. A time when you're adjusting to a growing body, then one healing from giving birth. A time when you're caring for a special, new life that was created by your very own body. It can be hard, and also incredibly rewarding at the same time.
It's important to remember during this time that the care you give to your newborn should also be applied to yourself. Wether that be skipping a load of laundry in favour of getting some sleep, or lathering your skin in a nourishing moisturiser. Take some time to let yourself heal and rest. Below, you'll find 8 beautiful products to help you through this time.
