National #BumpDay is here and what better time to talk about the misery of being pregnant in the summer? I got to share some of my fave products for bellies and beyond that hydrate for 24 hours, curb the itch and deflate sleep-deprived eyes. We even pawed a transition bra that actually looks sexy and a portable pump that you can wear in it. It’s Baby time…P.S. I can’t wait for Baby Asa to meet the gorgeous inside and out hosts of Miami’s NBC 6 In The Mix, Jen Herrera and Johanna Gomez ❤️
Baby is kicking and keeping you up all night? They say its preparation for the sleepless nights ahead but momma still has to work and would like to look less zombie-like at the office tomorrow.

#3 What Can Be Used On The Face Also Works On The Belly
It’s hot out, It’s sticky and I can’t possibly layer another cream on my face- but my skin is cracking from baby drought. Use a water gel woman and leave the oily stuff for nighttime- I swear I have probably used twenty bottles of this since I’ve been pregnant. I even rub it all over my belly since its so uber clean.

What is #Bumpday?
There is no more pressing global issue affecting our collective future than the health of pregnant women and their babies — even here in the United States. While the maternal mortality rate has steadily been decreasing in other developed nations, it has been on the rise in the U.S. since 2000. That’s why What to Expect is teaming up with International Medical Corps to celebrate Bump Day on July 17, 2019. Bump Day is a day to celebrate beautiful bumps and healthy pregnancies, and also raise awareness and support so that every mom gets the help she needs to deliver a healthy start in life for the baby she loves. On July 17, post a photo of your bump (current or past) on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and tag it #BumpDay to help spread the word. And below, find information resources to empower yourself before, during and after childbirth.
