SKIN DEEP HEALTHY!? - quick checklist

We all know how important it is to eat well during pregnancy. Now only it makes you glow, but it also helps to keep the dreadful nauseas at bay. Now remember that what you put inside matters just as much as what you put on your skin.

Protect yourself and your baby from the nasty toxins in most of the commonly used cosmetics.

Here´s a link to a very handy fold up guide you can take with you anywhere!

Baby Gaia at 35 weeks and some top tips for those last few weeks of pregnancy

Our latest picture of  Baby Gaia at 35 weeks shows Laura in her town of Soller in front of what else but a tree of ripe oranges.
This is classically the time when the baby has its big growing spurt and many mother suffer from very tired feet and pain in the lower back. Good stretching exercise help relief the pain in the lower back
http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yoga-and-health/yoga-for-pregnancy.asp   and some yoga along with some positive birth visualization can be very enjoyable at this time.
' Putting your feet up' as everybody will be for ever telling you to do is not such a bad plan to help those tired and sometimes even swollen feet. Even better a relaxing foot bath with some essential oils in the water followed by a delicious foot massage administered by your partner using one of the Gaia Cacao Butter polishers http://www.gaia-natural-mallorca.com/products/moisturisersbodypolish.html

Here at Gaia Bathtime a reflexology session can be beneficial for the expecting mother.

 Top Tip to help with tiresome heartburn: chew 4 or 5 hazelnuts or almonds and this gives instant relief. I myself really liked Cadburys Hazelnut Chocolate and my babies thrived on it!

ADVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME MUMS

treasure the precious time of your pregnancy to rediscover your body
and strengten the life-long connection with your baby


Pregnancy is a beautiful process of bringing a new life to this world. Day by day you will be noticing your body changing and preparing for the birth. (More on the pregnancy symptoms: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy/PR00004
From about the 4-5th month onwards the growing baby produces noticable pressure on the pelvis and lower back.

It may also be the very last time when you have time for yourself ever again in your life!
Until the birth it is all about YOU, the glowing beautiful mother-to-be, YOU and YOU and YOU!
Trudi, the originator of GAIA bathtime and mother of 4 now altogether accomplished grown ups, always has an important advice for the first time mums:

"If I had known during my first pregnancy that it is the last chance to be completely selfish to do what I want, I would have been treating myself all
the time... to endless afternoon sleeps, massages, saunas, reflexologies, swims in the sea... Simply I wish, I would have spoiled myself much more.
When people offer to pamper you, let them do it! This is YOUR time!"

Baby Gaia – Pregnant Bellies – and how to avoid stretch marks.

The Gaia team was very excited the other day to find out that there is a baby girl on its way which is going to be called Gaia. Laura who is a valued member L'Avenida Hotel team will be giving birth to her in April.

 In Greek mythology GAIA is a Pre-Olympian Greek earth goddess, worshiped as mother of all.

 Gaia is also the name for: the hypothesis that the living and nonliving components of earth function as a single system in such a way that the living component regulates and maintains conditions (as the temperature of the ocean or composition of the atmosphere) so as to be suitable for life; 

We are preparing to re launch our Gaia Baby range for the birth of Baby Gaia. It consists of the gentlest bath bubbles and a baby massage balm which carry such a small amount of mandarin, lavender and chamomile essential oils that you can even use it with a new born baby.  http://www.gaia-natural-mallorca.com/products/babyrange/gaia-baby-gift-box.html

Bedtime rituals are very important for babies and help them get into good sleeping habits. You should always bathe your baby at about the same time, and then give them a gentle relaxing massage while maybe singing to them or listening to relaxing music. More about all this when baby Gaia is born.

Until then we shall focus on how to avoid stretch marks and the best ways to spend those last weeks of pregnancy, getting ready for birth and how to give you some very important ME Time because it will be the last for a very long time.

To start with Stretch Marks and how to avoid them.

Buy yourself a very good Almond Oil, Wheatgerm Oil or Apricot Kernel Oil and spread it onto your belly and hips and your breast every morning and night to help your skin to stretch with you as your baby gets bigger. It is important to use very gentle essential oils only like Mandarin,Geranium and Lavender  http://www.gaia-natural-mallorca.com/products/bodybutteressentialoil/essential-mandarin-burner-oil.html and only very small amounts. 3 to 4 drops to a bath and 12 drops to 30 ml of your chosen base oil.

Putting oil onto you pregnant belly is also a good time to ask you partner to do this for you as he will enjoy feeling the baby and to start bonding with it. We know now that babies can hear while inside you and that they recognize your voices once they are born; even start responding with a kick when they hear you while still inside you.

Base oils and essential oils are available in our shop Gaia bathtime in Calle Corderia, Palma.
