    5. bio-oil 

    A moisturizing oil that many people use to lubricate the stomach - both when the skin feels tight and to prevent stretch marks. Take the opportunity to make it a quiet moment just for you!

    6. obstetric belts 

    Miscarriage is not something you wish for, but many pregnant women experience it sooner or later. A contraction belt may not feel particularly glamorous - but it can be worth its weight in gold when every step starts to hurt. It provides relief for the pelvis and can make everyday life a little easier, especially during the heavier weeks.

    7. sea-band (sea-band)
