Calling all pregnant mamas! I've written a list of my top 20 pregnancy must have's - all the essential items I couldn't live without to prevent stretch marks, ease morning sickness, stay comfy and much more 💜 Here are a few of my faves: 🌟 1. @sea_band sickness bands (for nausea) 2. @betteryou_ltd magnesium oil spray (for morning sickness and sleeping) 3. @greatlakesgelatin collagen powder (for stretch marks) 4. Dry body brushing set (for strech marks, cellulite and soft skin) 5. Doterra essential oils (for everything!) 🌟 For the rest of the list - including the best 2 books I recommend, which healthy snack bars I love and which stretch mark cream I use - visit jennawestphal.com or click the link in my profile 💖

Avocado toast... my new favourite breakfast! 🥑🥑🥑 I became addicted to this in the throes of morning sickness (when toast was life) using @scharglutenfreeuk bread. I’ve posted the recipe (I use two spices you wouldn’t guess!) + my 4 favourite variations on the blog - visit jennawestphal.com or click the link in my profile ✨

At our 20-week scan yesterday we found out IT'S A BOY! 💙💙💙 I’m so excited, I really wanted a boy ☺️ We've decided on a name but keeping it a secret for now... because you can have something in mind but what if he pops out and the name feels wrong?! 😜 Also I can't believe I'm half way already. The first 3 months went soooo slowly but the past 2 months have been lightening quick. July 31st will be here before I know it! 💙

Evvvvery time. I’m SO impatient 🙈

I used to think essential oils were hippy dippy - how wrong I was! 😜 — I now use them every.single.day from cooking to massage to cleaning to skincare, and I couldn’t be happier: — 🌿 I’ve replaced toxic cleaning and beauty products with natural alternatives 🌿 They’re SO versatile - I can use one oil in 20 ways 🌿 They’re a gentle reminder to take time for self care (a luscious pregnancy massage, bath or meditation) 🌿 They’re uber-powerful... 1 drop is all it takes 🌿 The community and support around the brand I choose is fab. — To read the 11 oils I use daily (yup, this many every day!!) click the link in my profile @jenna.westphal 😘🌟

Because life can’t *all* be about chocolate (unfortunately!) 🍩🍫🍪 On the blog today I share my top 25 healthy snack ideas (all gluten-free and most dairy-free). And GOOD options, too! None of the standard ‘a handful of nuts’ or ‘a piece of fruit’ (did anyone else’s mum push this option as the sole snack option when they were younger??) 🍏🥑🥝🍐 Link in my profile @jenna.westphal or visit jennawestphal.com 🌟

My new weeknight routine 🥂 @cytoplanltd @equinoxkombucha Some people don’t recommend drinking kombucha during pregnancy but personally I’ve decided it’s okay for me. As is everything except alcohol. I’m still having coffee (one cup 3-4 days a week), smoked salmon and soft cheese. I’m also still having hot baths (pre-pregnancy I didn’t even know this was a thing to be avoided!) and exercise 4 days a week. If you’re *not* doing any of these things that’s perfectly okay 👍🏼 But I’ve decided not to be bothered by a lot “advice” out there. I know my body and what suits me. Perhaps this attitude will change one day but for right now it’s serving me well 🙏🏻
