So, today marks the beginning of week 34... and my feet have turned into dry, sore, cracked disasters. I'm used to this happening during the winter months up here in Canada, and normally use Vichy's Podexine line. However, I've been told to avoid using the products while pregnant.
Anyone have any suggestion or fast working natural remedies? I just want nice, soft feet back sooner than later :blush:

Thought I would post an update...
It was suggested I try giving my feet a "Lansinoh Breast Cream" massage... Essentially, put a bunch of cream on my feet, add some comfy cotton socks - and voila, my feet are much softer in 1 day. :bliss:
Apparently Lansinoh also makes a foot cream, but I was unable to find it up here in Canada. In the meantime, I'm just happy my feet are a little more comfortable today :thumbsup:

Glad you found something that worked. I have nasty feet all the time and haven't found anything that works, maybe I'll have to dig out my Lansinoh.

I was thinking it could be the change of seasons. I know my feet are a mess right now and my knuckles are starting to get dry no matter how many times I out lotion on during the day. Usually this happens in September as fall comes in but this year fall seems to be arriving earlier.

we have used Lansinoh Lanolin for years on our hands and feet for dryness. It works great! Especially if you need overnight results!

I have to say, I wish I'd thought you try Lansinoh in the past. I admit the Vichy Podexine line works wonderfully (they have a crack repair that works on even deep cracks in a matter of days) - but this new option is certainly helping :goodvibes:
I too wonder if it was the fast change of season. Around our place, the leaves are already changing colour, and even the air has developed the back to school chill.

It could also be a combination of the early seasonal change and the hormonal preg changes, etc... who knows. Glad you found something that works!
