Pregnancy Stretch Marks Prevention

It is an amazing experience when you have that baby resting on your tummy after labor but the pregnancy is not always quite so joyful. Backaches, morning sickness, tiredness and of course pregnancy stretch marks. Many women think of these as the worst part of the pregnancy because they are so difficult to deal with and linger long after the pregnancy and the delivery. Unfortunately pregnancy and stretch marks go hand in hand.

Stretch marks can appear anywhere, arms, legs, hips, breasts and thighs. It can happen to any woman, statistically it affects 60-90%. Women gain weight during pregnancy and this causes skin to stretch past its natural elasticity. When you give birth the bump is gone and the skin goes back to its shape before and so the stretch marks take shape looking like flat scars.

Dry skin can make them worse, so it therefore makes sense to moisturize during pregnancy. Massage the areas that are likely to be affected with a lotion (or get your partner to do it for you!) Use a Vitamin E cream as this works best helping them fade. You do not have to use expensive creams, some home remedies are perfectly fine such as olive oil , cocoa butter or aloe Vera gel.

There are other things you can do to help keep your skin healthy and avoid deep stretch marks. Avoid too much vitamin A and drink lots of water as it will help flush out toxins and keep your body and skin hydrated. What you eat is important and it is certainly not the time to go on a diet. Eat healthy and make good choices so that you do not gain too much weight. If you gain too much weight it will stretch your skin further and make the stretch marks worse. Your doctor will monitor it carefully but you basically do not want to gain weight all at one time, it should be a steady increase throughout the pregnancy.

The good news is stretch marks can go away. The best cream available that is designed specifically for them is called Revitol. This is a company that is developing a good reputation for making products that actually do what they claim, and the stretch mark cream is no different. In fact they are becoming a top skin care wholesaler with excellent customer care and fair pricing. They even offer a money back guarantee if you are in any way unhappy.

In conclusion, if you want to deal with pregnancy stretch marks, all you need is good will and good information and the problem’s almost gone.
