Body wash is something we use almost every day that covers almost every inch of our skin - so it was especially important for me to find a safe and organic body wash during pregnancy. Earth Mama Angel Baby carries almost every beauty or health aid for pregnancy that you could think of: From the products you need to replace in your regular routine like Body Butter, to things you'd never needed before like Bottom Balm (for your bottom, not baby's!). But one of my favorite products is their Happy Mama Body Wash.
This pump-bottle disperses a thick, lathery foam with a light and delicious citrus scent. A little bit goes a long way to suds the whole body. With an olive oil castile soap base, you know that it's safe for you and even for baby later on - free of parabens and sulfates. I really look forward to using this every day, since some of my usual pampering products have been cut from my routine.

Another thing I love about Earth Mama Angel Baby is the pregnancy support they offer on their site. There is a whole section on baby loss comfort with gifts and links to resources for mothers and loved ones. There's products specifically for Moms who've had C-sections, pretty much everything for any specific situation you could have. There's even a free birth plan to help you get prepared for your baby's delivery.
I had every intention of utilizing this birth plan until my little Bobby decided to come into the world quite a bit early! There has been a break in posting to this column because I had my baby by emergency C-section on May 22 at 26 weeks. Robert Christopher Thatcher, 1.5 pounds, is doing well in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Chester County Hospital where I live in West Chester, PA, USA. As you have to be just as careful with the products you use while breastfeeding as you are in pregnancy, I will continue this column from a new NICU Mom perspective.
