Rachel Roy's pregnancy must-haves

Dash_roy180_2Fashion designer Rachel Roy, who is expecting her second child in the spring with husband Damon Dash, recently revealed to Oprah Winfrey some of her favorite products to use during pregnancy.

When Rachel was pregnant with her daughter Ava, now 7, she gained approximately 80 pounds.  With this pregnancy, the 33-year-old’s feet have already begun to swell, so she is getting the use of a foot massager.

My shoes don’t fit — I’m already half a size up. And I don’t want to buy a whole new [selection of shoes]. So I’m sitting behind my desk kind of bossing my staff around trying to maintain a serious face, and then I have this going on.

Trying to eat healthy is a big thing for Rachel.  That is why she keeps a stash of Marcona almonds with her.

I keep them in my purse. I keep them in my desk. Because if I don’t have something to eat, I will grab anything and then that’s a huge no-no because I’m just getting all of those empty calories off of junk because by then I’m starving.

One of the last things that Rachel must have is Natura Bisse cream, which is used to prevent stretch marks.

This is a great product. Actually all of their products are really, really nice.

Wow 80lbs that’s a lot of weight to gain. She is pretty, and her daughter is so cute.
