Yeh course.

Yup you can exfoliate, just avoid massaging your ankles as you have pressure points there that are associated with uterine contractions and miscarriages.

I would say do it whilst you can still reach'em! Interesting what bean carrier says, best avoid the ankles then xx

Thank you all for the advice :-) Glad it's okay to do this. Petrified of doing anything that might harm little one. xx
