Much appreciated hugs and baby dust xxx

Hi herrys. I’m afraid I was always taught to avoid eating/drinking anything with aloe vera in when pregnant. However, it is still OK to use in creams for the skin. Hope all goes well with your scan next week, and of course, with the rest of your pregnancy. Diane

Thanks diane so many mixed reviews about it I only had a mouth full if that and with my history or miscarriages I've just over worried about it as I do everything! Fingers crossed all is okay next week x
