Pregnancy Glow...And Itching!

By far, the changes in my skin are one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. Likewise, they're one of the worst! Pregnancy has made my face smooth, glowing and radiant. It's also made my back and tummy really dry and itchy! But, to the rescue we have the amazing Louis Widmer Remederm Body Cream

I discovered this heavenly cream because there are various samples and pamphlets at the little desk where the nurse takes my blood pressure and tests my hemoglobin count at each appointment. I took a little tube of this stuff, tried it, marveled at the gorgeous subtle scent and creamy hydrating qualities and then saw that it was Swiss made and sadly assumed it was way too expensive to ever consider buying.

But, curiosity tends to get the best of us, doesn't it? I popped into the pharmacy today and had a peek, you know, just for kicks. Much to my surprise - and delight - a big 250 ml jar of this to die for cream is only 40 CHF. The word "only" may sound out of place in that sentence to those of you not living in Switzerland. But, for those of you who do live here, can you believe it? Swiss quality - in that quantity - at that price? I bought a jar on the spot and I can't wait to have dad-to-be rub it all over my itchy belly and back after my shower this evening. Hurrah!
