People in the comments: When Susan, the dermatologists she referenced, or even your own doctor says something is "probably fine", that means it is UP TO YOU to decide if you want to take the risk or not, as Susan literally says in this video several times. I dont understand what yall are confused about. 🤨 Susan literally says there isn't really any science behind ANY of it, because there aren't any tests on actual pregnant women. So it's YOUR decision. If you don't want to take the risk, then don't. It's that simple.
I’m an RMT and it’s perfectly safe and healthy to get a massage in the first trimester (as long as YOU are comfortable). But you do want to tell your massage therapist as soon as your pregnant and yes find somebody trained in prenatal massage. You won’t have to lay on your back during a massage if your massage therapist is trained in prenatal massage.
There are studies that show that aspirin does harm to the unborn child. So aspirin should be taken ONLY if you suffer from SERIOUS health issues like pre eclamsia.
Thank you for this video, please talk about chemical sunscreen during pregnancy! 😕 Feeling unsure if it’s safe or not but I do prefer chemical sunscreen because there’s no white cast.
Currently pregnant with a boy and have WAY worse pregnancy acne than when I was pregnant with a girl 🥲 been using your skincare trying to get it under control.
I like Susan's reaction videos. It's so good that she chose to dispel previous information. And to share information from dermatologists about certain ingredients. It's also hard to believe that she was pregnant with her daughter that long ago. I still think of her kids as adorable babies. I'm pretty sure they are still adorable though.
I'm glad that you warned against fragrance back then because it irritated my skin during my second pregnancy. I would have never guessed that it was fragrance otherwise.
To anyone that might be reading this, I wish that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. I wanted to give some positivity out to anyone that might need it. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life... even tho current times are challenging and some of you might go through tough times now I sincerely wish everyone that happiness enters your hearts and let all the stress and sadness vanish out of your life...as you know nothing in life is ever easy, but what's important is that you keep going! you're worthy of love and happiness, never allow anyone to tell you otherwise! It can be extra hard sometimes but stay strong and hang in there, your life matters, no one can replace you, I'm thankful you're born and I'm sure your struggles will pass soon! I wish all of you plenty of health and strength during any current tough times you face. Remember you are strong, you got this! never forget that! sending much love over towards all of you, May god or what ever you might believe in bless you the way you need it to! ♥️🌟
Thank you for raising the issue with EWG! I believed in natural products before too. My skin just got worse. And it has been years of my hair is suffering from a condition because I thought a natural shampoo was better for my hair.
O also what about mineral vs chemical sunscreens?? I saw you say mineral sunscreens in another video and people seem to be 50/50 on this one when pregnant. Would love to know your thoughts!
Thanks for this video. I'm not sure how safe a future or a new mama would feel about advice like "it's probably fine to use X" though. If it's not known whether it's safe, why do you say "probably fine"?! I would prefer to know there's science behind it showing it's ok, that it's safe.
The point is, you’re likely not going to get that science since no one is going to test on pregnant women. Most doctors will tell you “it’s probably fine” if there isn’t science to say it would likely be harmful, but you’re given this information so you can make an informed decision and choice.
It’s so hard to figure out where the line between cautious but not driving yourself crazy is when you’re pregnant. It feels impossible to decide what to do since so much of what’s deemed “probably safe” is purely theoretical since there’s no ethical way to test products on pregnant women and see if they cause birth defects.
Hi thank you for your content! I am using Biafine triethanolamine for a while now as a night-time moisturizer (it's the only thing that doesn't irritate my eyes), is that safe to use during pregnancy?
I feel like with skincare it's the same than with alcohol - many people casually drink (and also some smoke) in their early pregnancy days if they don't know they're pregnant yet! But it's usually fine if they stop as soon as they find out. Same with skin care, or let's say food restrictions. Not everyone plans their pregnancy so it's impossible to avoid all the harmful things
I’m confused about the Ewg comment. I don’t see anything wrong with information, and knowing data behind an ingredient. From there we can make our own choice right? It’s just information imo. Nothing wrong with information.
About the melasma.. My sister got it with her first, he's definitely male 😂 and after all the old wives tales saying my son would be a girl, I believe nothing 😂 Yes! Skintags! I never had them before pregnancy, but I knew hormones can cause them. I still have some now..
I noticed that since she started the skincare line, she has been taking a stance on “reviewing” her content or prior recommendations. It seems as if there’s a conflict of interest now, so I’m not sure this information is unbiased.
That doesn’t even make sense. It would make sense if she was reviewing every past recommendation and replacing them with her own products saying how they’re better. But this type of reviewing can’t be nothing but positive. She’s just keeping us up to date with what she has learned since the said video and what has changed.
Really don’t agree with the “it’s probably fine approach”, not when we have sooooo many alternatives on the market. It’s literally just 9 months in which we can switch it up a bit. Plus, imagine a birth defect really unfortunately happened - it’s most likely not the salicylic acid, but you’d be blaming yourself as a mother - which is definitely not the case, but we do do as human beings.
And years from now ur gonna react on the videos you make today and cringe ans the cycle goe on bc guess what its not ur place to give advice to ppl ur no expert
LOVE your videos, super informative and interesting. Just wanted to mention that you should consider language of saying “pregnant women” is exclusionary, there are many folx that are pregnant but are trans male, non-binary, or don’t identify as women. Having inclusive language is so helpful, inclusive and a simple thing to change!
Aw, Amanda...I'm sorry you were triggered by the topic of pregnancy. I know your life might be hard as transgender. I can't imagine what it's like to not know yourself at such a fundamental level that you click on youtubes with pregnancy in the title and still have to leave your comment!
🙄 Dear God, please help these people that are so delusional and trying SO desperately to be "woke" that they think anyone other than a WOMAN can be pregnant. Amen 🙏

‘I want to punch myself in the face for saying that one’ 🤣 I laughed so hard!
Thank you for providing this update! I am in my 3rd trimester so knowing what is now most likely safe during breast feeding is helpful!
I love these types of videos where you react to your past self! I learnt so much from past and present you 😍
It’s interesting about the aspirin thing, because a lot of pregnant women are recommended to take small dose aspirin whilst pregnant!
key word small
There are studies that show that aspirin does harm to the unborn child. So aspirin should be taken ONLY if you suffer from SERIOUS health issues like pre eclamsia.
My ob has me on daily baby aspirin.
Only when the benifits outweigh the risk and under Dr supervision
Yikes, wouldn’t trust those doctors.
Thank you for this video, please talk about chemical sunscreen during pregnancy! 😕 Feeling unsure if it’s safe or not but I do prefer chemical sunscreen because there’s no white cast.
Your skin looks better than ever. You are glowing ✨
Currently pregnant with a boy and have WAY worse pregnancy acne than when I was pregnant with a girl 🥲 been using your skincare trying to get it under control.
Ooooo! Now I’m wondering how outdated my postpartum skincare is now!😅 I’ve been pregnant and breastfeeding on and off 5 years now too😅

Hi Susan! Which products do you recommend from Naturium while pregnant?

Much much needed! Great video. Thanks for clarifying this info and including and linking doc input

Love the hair and makeup!
Would love to you your thoughts on bakuchiol while pregnant?

Thank you! I needed this!!
There is a brand, Orimii Skincare, which is way good for new moms and at the same time for breastfeeding moms too.
please let your products be available in the netherlands and make bodylotions with high percentage of actives
Yeeees
Is Rosehip oil safe to use during pregnancy?
Just a thought but could you do a video on deep plane facelifts and or other trending surgeries/work please. Love your channel 💕💕💕
Is urea 5% face cream and Crest whitening toothpaste safe for pregnancy?
I wonder if the device foreo bear mini can cause any harm, is a such a low micro current. I can’t find if os safe or not for pregnant.

Thanks soo much for your sharing
Now doctors give women at risk for preeclampsia aspirin- so mine said BHA was fine
Please review Vichy Liftactiv B3 and how to include in our routines considering that we use Tretinoin at nights. Thank you.
Excellent job ❤❤❤ beautiful presentation ❤❤❤ have a beautiful day ❤❤❤
Is willow bark really a no?
Are copper peptides considered safe during pregnancy?
Hi, is Sudocrem safe to use during pregnancy?
I have never heard the one about manicure and pedicure. You’re not supposed to get them at all when pregnant???
I feel like with skincare it's the same than with alcohol - many people casually drink (and also some smoke) in their early pregnancy days if they don't know they're pregnant yet! But it's usually fine if they stop as soon as they find out. Same with skin care, or let's say food restrictions. Not everyone plans their pregnancy so it's impossible to avoid all the harmful things

Although I morally disagree with IVF….. ivf doctors tell their patients not to wear perfume for a reason. It’s not good for you or your hormones.
About the melasma.. My sister got it with her first, he's definitely male 😂 and after all the old wives tales saying my son would be a girl, I believe nothing 😂
Yes! Skintags! I never had them before pregnancy, but I knew hormones can cause them. I still have some now..
and in Germany too 🫶

Amanda Glassel....go be delusional at your home🤡
No. Just no.
