Hi I was wondering is the vital core ok to take when pregnant?
Check with your dr please.
I know you have said the defining gel is not safe during pregnancy but I did not know if that was when it was put on the stomach. Are the legs ok? Or this product is not ok period when pregnant?
Take the ingredients to your dr if your worried Hun.
I am EBF my 4 month old and ordered wraps but now I’m seeing they are not safe but I can wrap my face. Why can I wrap my face but no where else? It doesn’t say why you can’t wrap while breastfeeding. Can you please explain?
The facials are much less concentrated and therefore safe. Hope that helps
Hi, I am wondering if taking thermofit and fat fighters while trying to get pregnant are harmful? I was taking these and got pregnant twice and lost both babies. I have a healthy one year old, and This is the only lifestyle change I made after having her. So could the thermofit and fat fighters be what’s causing the loss of the babies?
I’m so sorry Lyndsie!!!! I’m not sure these caused you to lose your babies, but I wouldn’t recommend taking them while trying to become pregnant.
HI, I was wondering if it’s safe to use even if you pump?
Abaloney,
IT’s not recommended, what you do is up to you 🙂
Hi, I’m currently almost 9 months pregnant. Can i use a wrap on my legs, not on my stomach?
it’s not a recommended product while pregnant or nursing Sammolett
Hi Tamara! I am currently breastfeeding my 8 month old and have used the hair skin and nails for a week. I will stop and wait until after I am done nursing but just want to double check that it won’t hurt my infant. Thanks!
Katie, I think you should be ok, but if you are worried, check with your dr.
Are greens chews safe while pregnant.
Sabrina,
ask your dr love 🙂
Hi Tamara!
My cousin is pregnant and the due date is coming up in a couple months. I’d like to clarify something before I give her this list of safe products — just so I don’t make any wrong assumptions!
Since Vital is not on your list, but is mentioned on the photo displayed right below it — I just want to make extra sure.. By “Vital”, it’s referring to all 3 Vitals: Minerals, Omega-3, and Core Nutrition..correct?
Do you personally see them as safe/beneficial during pregnancy or after pregnancy?
Thank you!
— Corrie
Corrie,
By there are 3 different ‘vitals’ in the product guide. vitamins, minerals & omegas. I would take them if I was pregnant, but would ask that your cousin show the ingredients to her dr before taking them.
Tamara
Can you wrap ur legs while pregnant
Kendra,
nope. sorry
I have been taking the fat fighters and thermofit as well as the greens and I think i might be pregnant. Should I stop taking these? or since we are trying to get pregnant should i not take these items anymore.
Caylee,
None of these items are approved by ItWorks as safe during pregnancy. I have heard of people using the greens occasionally while pregnant after having their doctors approval.
good luck 🙂
Tamara
I am 20 weeks pregnant and used the defining gel 3-4 times and then read up and said not to use! Will everything be OK?
Samantha,
you should be ok. try the stretch mark cream!!!! that’s awesome for pregnancy 🙂
I used a body wrap at 5w pregnant, unknowingly. Should I be concerned?
Ali, Congrats!!!
you should be ok, but check with your dr if you’re really concerned 🙂
p.s. try the stretch mark cream, it’s amazing!!!
Tamara

Tamara
I am breastfeeding and already ordered wraps. Is it not recommended because it gets in your supply or just because its on your skin and it shouldn’t touch the baby?
I’d wait till you’re all done feeding the babe Kelsey 🙂
Tamara
I went to your page and couldn’t find a way to contact you to ask:
I just found out I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I’m leaving for a beach holiday in 2 weeks and would like to use the body wraps to deflate the bloating in my stomach before I leave. Is that safe?
Ceara,
I would recommend the stretch mark cream not the wraps while pregnant. be safe & have a fun trip!

Hi! I have purchased the fat fighters, thermo fit, wraps, and stretch mark cream. I am Breast feeding a 10 month old but only 3 times a day tops! Could I use the thermo fit and fat fighters if I use a little less then recommended, and the wraps right after a nursing session? And is the stretch mark cream safe?
Alisha,

Tamara
Can I take hsn while taking prenatals or will I get sick. I am not pregnant
if you’re not pregnant then it’s safe. Why are you also taking prenatals? Do you wanna talk about your supplement needs more in depth? I’d love to chat!!

Tamara
I’m currently still breastfeeding my 2 year old ( 26 months). I was curious to what products I could use? I’ve read that you could use the skinny wrap and that it may dry up your milk. is this true? Also, if I do decide to use the skinny wrap while currently breastfeeding would it harm my daughter and, if so in what ways?
Hi Krista, congrats on the baby.
all the ‘safe’ products are listed on this page. The skinny wrap is not on the list. sorry for the misleading info you’ve gotten.
Tamara
Can I take the hair skin and nails if I’m pregnant
sorry darling. it’s not on the list. Pregnancy changes your hair anyways, wait till after 🙂
what if i didnt know i was pregnant, will the hsn vitamins effecg anything i have been taking them for 1 month straight before i found out
you should be ok now. Why not contact me & we can work on a what you can use while pregant! email me at tamaralukie@ gmail.com
Can I use the wraps on my arms or legs while pregnant? Or will the facial wraps work on my arms?
Emily, I undersand you are eager to try something even while you’re pregnant. Please try this, it’s totally safe & totally works! click here~> Safe for Pregnancy

Emily, just change the country & search for the product. it’s there 🙂
I breast feed my daughter once a day (in the morning)…wondering if the thermofit capsules are safe to take?

If you can use defining gel on babys cradle cap why can’t you use it when breastfeeding? X
Katey,
I’m not sure who told you that using defining gel on a baby was safe. It’s recommended for adults only. If someone has used it on their child, it is not with the approval of ItWorks, it has been done on their own account.
Can I use the hair, skin and nails supplement while breastfeeding?
sorry Cheyenne, it’s not approved… besides, pregnancy will change your hair growth anyways 🙂
What happens if you take HSN while nursing?
Rachel,
I’m not sure, that’s why they don’t recommend it
It’s not on the list, so I would ask your dr.
Can a 16 month old drink the greens? My 2 year old has been for a year and I can’t remember the last time he was sick. He doesn’t eat enough vege’s or fruiits.
Andrea,
this is totally up to you & your doctor.
Thanks for the question
Tamara
I used one of the stomach wraps when I was about 1-2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I am wondering what effects the detox process will have on the baby. Could this lead to the baby having higher heavy metals in her system from them being detoxed from me?
Kassie,
congrats on the news 🙂
I’m sure you’ll be ok, if you are still worried you can take the ingredients list to your dr to be sure 🙂
Tamara
Can I take thermofit,it’s vital and regular while breastfeeding my 10 month old baby?
nope. not safe. thanks for the question!
Took a dose of the hair, skin, and nails because the rep said it was safe while breastfeeding, now I read that it’s not safe. Is my supply compromised? Will it affect my little one?
Marina,
you should be ok. 🙂
Thank you for responding. Other than the greens what products can you use while breastfeeding? I was told the greens are safe. . Is that true?
ask your dr. about the greens.
I tell my clients that it is fine in the 3rd trimester.
I have a 4 month old that is ebf. Is it okay to use the thermofit?
Tanya,
Congrats!
if you are still nursing your 4 month old then I would suggest not using it yet.
Hi there,
I just had my twins 3 months ago and have done the wraps twice now with not a single inch lost! I am following all the rules and tips and tricks I found online and nothing. Is it too soon after baby? Hormones and stuff…? I am not sure what I’m doing wrong. I am def drinking enough water… Please help 😦
Kassie,
could be the hormones yes. but keep trying. some see results after 45 min, others need a full treatment or two. remember something is ALWAYS happening 😉
Hi there , I’m not pregnant now, but I’m planning to be that after two years, Is it safe to be pregnant after belly wraps or the belly will be stretched
Thank you
Areej,
I think it’s totally safe to use before. Once you have had your children, you may use the wraps again. It’s all wonderfully natural hydration for your skin 🙂
don’t forget to order here please ~>order<~
Can I use wraps on my arms while pregnant?
Corp. Office says no. Sorry.
but the face wraps are totally safe as is the stretch mark cream.
Please consider trying them out as they will work awesome!

I am breastfeeding and was wondering if it is safe to use the hair skin and nails. Thank you!
Congrats Lisa!!!
The hair skin & nails hasn’t been approved by our corporate head office. if you’d like, ask your dr.
I am currently Pregnant, but my prenatal and hormones are destroying my hair skin and nails. I was wondering if I could take hair skin nails while pregnant so supplement the nutrient loss.
Ambrel.
Please wait until you have given birth as the hormones tend to help with hair growth afterwards too. Keep in touch and when you have your bundle of joy email me and well talk about your wishes.
Hi, I’m 3 months pregnant and was wondering if there are any wraps for the thighs and if it is safe to use now at 3 months along?
Tracy. As stated it is not recommended while pregnant. Thanks. Come by once you have that bundle of joy!
I was just wondering I have been using the defing gel on my legs and butt for about a week my best friend who is a distributor said it is safe to use there while nursing. Is this true or should I stop?
That should be fine Britt.
Can I use the facial wraps on my belly to tighten and firm? Also, the cleansing gel that helps to tighten too? I just want to get rid of the flabby belly a easy way, hahaa….Note: I am breast feeding
Hi, is it ok to use the hair skin and nails while breastfeeding?
Hi Jennifer,
it’s not on the safe list sorry 🙂
I was told by a couple of reps that it was safe to use while breastfeeding
Not safe no.
Hi Jennifer, if you continue taking your prenatal vitamins then it’s good for hair, nails and baby!
Hi there, not sure if you are still answering questions but I have used a wrap on my abdomen and have taken 4 fat fighters so far in the past 2 weeks (as a trial from a distributor) and just found out I am pregnant… I’m am extremely worried! Please Help! Also where can I find the ingredients to show to my OB?
Tiffany,
I’m sure you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t worry.
as for the ingredients, it will be on the website ~> younaturally.myitworks.com
I am breast feeding and already purchased the wrap pack unknowingly that it can not be used while breast feeding and my wraps expire in 2 months! I am desperate to get rid of my flabby belly and stretch marks. I purchased the stretch mark cream and was told it takes months to notice a difference, is that only for dark marks bc mine are white and was told those don’t go away. I need to tighten and tone but don’t know what to buy…
Destiny.
Congrats on the new addition! You are safe to use the stretch mark cream. It should work on both light & dark marks, keep trying, I’m sure you’ll love the results. As for your wraps, don’t worry…. you can always use them right after feeding if you feel comfortable, otherwise they should be ok for longer then the expiry date as long as you keep them in a cool dark place tightley sealed 🙂
Thank you! My wraps are still in package in my closet. I’ll be bf’ing till at least April. Can I use the facial wraps on my belly to tighten and firm? Also, the cleansing gel that helps to tighten too? I just want to get rid of the flabby belly a easy way, hahaha.
I noticed a difference in the size of most of mine when I used the wrap and yes they are white
Just had my baby a week ago is it safe to use the defining gel? Not breastfeeding!
That’s totally fine! Such a great product! Please order here~> defining gel 🙂
Hello 🙂 We are trying to conceive so I’m on daily prenatal is it safe to take Greens with them?
The greens are ok occasionally. please talk with your doctor to make sure. I’d personally use them in the last 1/2 of the pregnancy. Ask the Dr. is what ItWorks says 🙂
get them here if it’s ok please ~> GreenS
Hi CB, I can tell you that I feel tat Greens are mostly responsible for my current pregnancy. I am 39 years old and overweight and I felt I would never get pregnant. I started using greens and after 4 months, 25 lb weight lost, I WAS PREGGERS. I am now 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I feel amazing.
Oh I took the ingredients to my doctor and he said some of them promote fertility.
Hi I am breastfeeding and I heard I can take the greens. But no wrapping until when ?
Greens (found here) are pretty safe when breast feeding, don’t go over the reccomended dose tho. Wrapping I would say is best after breastfeeding is done, or if you can’t wait that long, wait until your baby is down to only a few (2-3) feedings a day & wrap right after the last feeding. Wraps are found here~> wraps!
Hi is the hair skin and nails safe to use while pregnant?
Hi Melissa. These aren’t on the list. Please check with your doctor.
My husband and I have been trying to become pregnant for a couple months. We are going on vacation soon, and was wondering if I could use the applicators on my abdomen area, but not really quite sure yet if I am pregnant, it is too early to tell. Is it safe to still use them?
If you aren’t pregnant it is safe to use. If you are pregnant it’s not recommended.
have fun on vacation Natalie
Hi I currently found out I’m pregnant, I’m about 6weeks and I’d like to know if I can wrap my face, my chin, my back and my arms??? If I can’t do all can you please let me know what I can wrap thank you so much, I’m really interested!
Hi Yasmeen. Congrats. You are able to use the face wraps ( face & neck!) Arms and back may be too much while pregnant. Have you ordered yet? Please go to; http://younaturally.myitworks.com/shop/product/103/ to order 🙂
Am I able to wrap hips, back, arms WITH the face wraps? And if so, will it work?
you can, but your body will be changing so much throughout the preganacy you may want to wait. It is still safe to use & will totally work, just not as ‘intense’. if you’d like to try, please order here~> Order Here
Is it safe to use the wraps In-between pregnancies? My daughter is 18mo now and we plan on trying for another at the end of the summer. Should I wait until we are done having children.
I am pregnant going on 20 weeks! If i use the face wrap, will it make my face skinnier looking ?? & how about the arm wrap? Am I allowed to use that too, since its not on the stomach? Really curious!
facial wrap is totally fine. the body wraps ingredients are more concentrated, I’d wait until you’re done with the pregnancy 🙂 try this package, it’s my fav!!
Since moms can only use the face wraps can we use them on our belly instead??
I ment nursing moms, also what would be the effect if we were to use the on our belly??
Kassandra. The facial wraps are safe for pregnant and nursing moms. They will also tighten tone & firm. Have you ordered them yet? There’s a link above to order them 😉
So nursing moms can use the facial wraps on belly to tighten and firm??
That is totally fine to do! If you haven’t ordered yet, please do so here~> facial wraps
The picture of the round pregnant belly with the facial applicator made me laugh! Is that just a silly pic or is that something recommended to keep stretch marks away? I am a distributer and think it would be a great way to market them to pregnant women if there is any truth to that! Haha!
My baby is almost 5 weeks old, is it too soon to use a wrap?
If I’m breast feeding an used it works wraps. How long should I wait to breast feed? Is there an amount of time it stays in your system?
I would breast feed first. make sure you only wear it for 45 minutes, then maybe even pump n dump afterwards. The wraps work for up to 72 hours, so that’s how long the natural ingredients are in your bod. good luck 🙂
Did you try the wrap? I am also breast feeding and wanted to know what to do…
Can you take the new hair, skin, and nails while breast feeding? Does it help regrow hair lost after pregnancy?
Torre,
this is a new product, & while pregnant & breast feeding I would check with your doctor. Take the ingredients to them & double check 🙂
order here if it’s all ok ~> http://www.younaturally.myitworks.com
I am 6 weeks pregnant. Am i able to use the defining gel or just the face applicator? I just want my face skinnier.
I had a miscarriage yesterday I was only 5 weeks pregnant can I still use my it work products? I have the wraps the greens, defining gel and the fight fighter. Because I want to start them already
please let me know
so sorry to hear 😦
I think it should be ok Leslie. If you are worried, ask your dr. 🙂
I am 31 weeks pregnant and interested in trying the Hair Skin Nails product – do you know if this is safe to use while pregnant (and nursing)?
Tracy,
as this is a new product, I would take the ingredients to your doctor to make sure.
If you haven’t ordered yet, please do so here~> http://www.younaturally.myitworks.com

HI Tracy I was wondering what your doctor said about the hair skin and nails product while pregnant?
Mariah,
beacuse you plan on having more children so soon, I’d say wait… but it’s totally up to you 🙂
try the wrap pack, it’s my fav! /
Hello I want to know if it is safe for me and most of anything my child to do the body wraps if I just gave birth and is currently breast feeding
Irma,
Corporate has said that it is not advisable to use the wraps while pregnant or breast feeding. The wraps are also meant for adults. Sorry. Please let me know when you are done breastfeeding & I’ll be more then happy to help you 🙂
Hello! My husband and I just started trying to get pregnant. Are the wraps safe to use until I get a positive pregnancy test? If I don’t get pregnant for awhile then I’d like to be using them but not at the expense that they could hurt the baby if I do find out I’m pregnant.
Amy,
Congrats! the wraps are safe if you are not pregnant. If you are trying to become pregnant then you may consider waiting as your skin will stretch.
Thanks,
Tamara
Thank you for your reply and the congratulations. Are the ingredients listed on the website somewhere?
Thanks-
Erin
Erin,
not sure, but I assume they are. 🙂
Hi-
I didn’t know I was pregnant and I used the wrap on my abdomen when I was about 4-5 weeks along. I’m a little worried after finding out it is not recommended while you are pregnant. Do you know what the potential harmful effects are to a fetus? Thanks you for your time-
Erin
Erin, thanks for the question. I don’t think there is too much to worry about, but if you are concerned take the ingredients to your dr. to check. Congrats on the new addition!
I am currently breastfeeding my twins once a day. This is only during the night to help them fall asleep. they are turning 13 months and i am desperate to use my body wraps but of course my kiddos are first and their safety..but do u know if it would be able to use them in my stomach,legs, etc..????????
I think it would be safe. best to wrap as soon as you feed them & not afterwards. ask your dr. if you are really concerned.
let me know 🙂
Tamara

I am 30 weeks pregnant and was told that its safe to use the defining gel on my stretch marks during pregnancy, then I read something else that says its not safe. I would just like the facts about it to know that I won’t be harming my baby. Is the defining gel a detox product?
Hi Alyssa,
congrats on your new upcoming addition. As per our corporate head office, they do not reccomend the defining gel while pregnant. They do have a special stretch mark cream that is safe, you can find it here ~ https://younaturally.myitworks.com/Shop/Product/437
If you have already used the defining gel & are at all concerned, please take the ingredients to your dr.
thanks for the important question!

hi, I was wondering if I could use the it works wraps on my thighs and arms because I am pregnant and have gained some weight in those areas. was just wondering if it was safe!
hi Carleen, congrats on the baby news 🙂 & thanks for the query!
I have to tell you, the wraps are NOT approved for use while being pregnant. You can of course come back after your done breastfeeding & try them out there! There is an incredible stretch mark cream that is safe for use while pregnant. I would totally reccomend that! https://younaturally.myitworks.com/Shop/Product/437
the facial items are also safe while pregnant https://younaturally.myitworks.com/Shop/Category/191 as well, I would recommend the greens. full of incredible goodness!!! https://younaturally.myitworks.com/Shop/Product/1157
Hi, I was told by many reps of it works that it is OK to use wraps on legs and arms please let me know. I also use the stretch mark cream but was also wanting to use wraps between the legs and my big arms…. Helpppp I’m 4months preggo and gaining fast
Hello Ness. I’m not sure who told you that, but if you are pregnant, then I would NOT suggest it. This is a special time & your body will go thru crazy incredible changes. that is normal. I would suggest waiting until afterwards. See how well your body bounces back & then consider the wraps. Gaining weight is suppose to happen when your are growing a baby! Congrats & Good Luck (hope to speak with you more in 4-5 months!!)
Not trying to cause you any sales problems here… I love It Works products and am a distributor myself but I wanted to let you know that the Greens actually also have an ingredient in them that could increase the chance of miscarriage. The Red Raspberry Leaf could cause problems as it can actually be used to induce labour.
Hi Dawn. Thanks for the message. Your right that the greens have red raspberry leaf. It’s traditionally been used for centuries to help strengthen the uterus. For this reason it is not used in the first half of pregnancies, (the strengthening can cause uterus contractions or spasms, therein lies the miscarriage concerns) but after that is not only safe, but quite helpful! (Think easier delivery with a strong uterus!!) The amount in the greens is minimal, but if you have any worries, just take the ingredients list to your doc or mid~wife & they’ll help you out. Thanks again, & good luck with your ITWORKS venture. It truly is life changing!!
would we only take the greens after the first half of pregnancy, or can we take it in the beginning also?
Jasmine,
thanks for the question. If it were ME, then I would feel safe taking the greens after around the 5th month of preganancy. I know many ladies who took them throughout their entire pregnancy. If you are concerned, I would print off the ingredients & take them to your dr. Hope that helps 🙂
