    Default Skin Brushing During Pregnancy

    So I can do this skin brushing during pregnancy and it will help with what the sag will be like after...Can I brush the belly aswell?


    And the alfalfa can I take that while I am taking fish oil/flax seed,and my daily prenatal?

    Thank You (Can you tell I really want these sexy panties at VS[:I],just dont want them with my saggy jiggly belly)

    Yep, you can do skin brushing. It exercises the skin and keeps the lymph moving. And does help with loose skin too.

    Alfalfa is pure plant protein. So it like a food. I take it will my vitamins.

    I posted to you on the General Forum about this before, but the skin brushing is great. Just using the brushing, within a couple of weeks my reddish-purple stretch marks I had over my hips had faded to sort of silvery-iridescent... Awesome!! I didn't have a lot of belly sag, so not a lot to comment there.

    The alfalfa is amazing. I took it faithfully throughout my pregnancy, and I could tell when I had and hadn't taken it because I was more grouchy and my hands and feet really felt swollen. I took mine with my prenatals as well.

    HUGS!

    Tina & Jen gave great advice! Yes, yes, skin brushing is excellent! I didn't do mine as faithfully... I know, bad me! But I'm getting back into it. Whenever I walk past my brush (I have it out in plain sight), I grab it and just brush my stomach (I try to do a full body brush after my workout). Although I'm back to pre-pregnancy size, my stomach still could use a bit more firming up. I think had I done it more faithfully during my pregnancy, maybe it would look different?

    Alfalfa... as Jen said, take it!!!! I never swelled. I actually could wear my stilettos well into my 9th month. My rings all fit... it was lovely. I think the combo of T-Tapp, skin brushing and Alfalfa is very effective for pregnancy and beyond. Oh, and yes, you can take Alfalfa + prenatals!

    Good luck!
