So I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with baby number 3. I have been drinking two huge tablespoons of this gelatin everyday since my second trimester. With my previous pregnancies I did not use this product and for me, typically, is the worst part of pregnancy. I'm a small girl, 5'0", my max weight in pregnancy is 150 lbs, I get gestational Diabetes every pregnancy which totally restricts my diet and my skin takes the brunt of EVERYTHING. By now I'd typically have red burning itching stretch marks all over from my pelvis to my boobs. My skin would be on fire! I would itch it without even realizing what I was doing. Multiple times I would leave worse scars from that alone. My only go to would be to slather myself with eucerin and suran wrap and just chill like that for hours, usually ruining all of my clothes in the process. With this pregnancy, life could not be more easy. I got an abdominoplasty a couple years after my second child, fixing of my muscle wall and cut off all of my loose skin. My Tummy still had some leftover stretch marks but was tighter. I have been drinking Great Lakes Gelatin religiously through my pregnancy and the growth of the baby has been amazing. I don't even get itchy. A few times I'd feel a little more stretched than usual, but get this, NO NEW STRETCH MARKS. I have some left over from my previous pregnancies, but non of them are red, angry or itchy. I just feel so lucky. I was terrified that I'd have to redo my surgery but with how comfortable I feel, I don't think it's going to be an issue at all. I'll drink this stuff for the rest of my life!! I usually throw it in a cup of tea. I live in a hot area so depending on weather I will let that cool and throw it over ice, for ice tea, or in a smoothie. It dissolves into hot water extremely easily. I haven't tried it in coffee yet, not a coffee drinker during pregnancy. I can taste a powdery taste in my smoothie but that could be my protein powder as well. So far I'm very very VERY VERY excited and happy with my results
