    One of the popular classics in Weleda's pregnancy care is Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil! It is enriched with sweet almond oil, vitamin E rich wheat germ oil and extracts of ingredients that together nourish the skin, support elasticity and help prevent stretch marks. Regular massage with the oil preserves the skin's natural suppleness, elasticity and softness both during and after pregnancy. The emollient oil consistency is quickly absorbed and is perfect for when the body changes and needs extra nourishment.

    The itchy feeling that many people experience during pregnancy on their body (have you felt it yet?) is reduced by using Stretch Mark Massage Oil. Rubbing your belly also gives you an opportunity to bond with your baby in your belly, have a moment just for you, where you take the time to feel the beautiful bond that you already have between you. Take a moment in the evening and massage your body as a nice ending after a long day.

Clinical studies show that many women experience a marked reduction in the visibility of stretch marks after regular use during pregnancy, while leaving the skin intensely moisturized and soft. The natural scent of rose, neroli and myrrh contributes to a moment of calm and self-care - a nice ritual between you and baby.

    Weleda Lighter Legs Gel is a cooling and refreshing gel that is particularly suitable for pregnant women when their legs can easily feel tired, swollen or “heavy” - especially at the end of the day or in hot weather. It absorbs quickly into the skin, is non-sticky, and provides a pleasant sensation when you want to revitalize your legs.

    What is perineal massage, you may ask? It is a gentle massage of the perineum (the area between the vagina and the anus) that women can use at the end of pregnancy to soften the skin and increase elasticity for childbirth. Weleda Perineum Massage Oil makes the massage more gentle, so you can prepare your body in peace with a simple routine at home.
