The Dreaded Strechmarks!
The moment I found out I was pregnant, I already knew things would change. Waistline will expand and of course the dreaded stretch marks that will pop up. Stretch marks are red or purple marks left in your skin because it has stretched. It will appear more likely at your buttocks, thighs, stomach, breasts and even arms. Almost 95 % of all pregnant women will get them, whether they get a lot or a few depends on the body and how they try to prevent them.
There are many lotions and creams in the market today that claim to help you prevent the dreaded stretch marks – there’s cocoa butter, scar serum or stretch mark cream reviews to be able to make a good choice when you go buy one.
And remember to have your skin remain moist, this helps in stretching the skin and not tearing it. There are new discoveries every day, ask your doctor what they can recommend. Try them first and see if they work for you. This isn’t something you just put on one time during your pregnancy,and you don’t have to worry about anything anymore. You will have to make this a part of your daily routine. If you stop doing it, you will get the marks!
Start using lotions or preventing creams and with vitamins A and vitamin E in them, as soon as you find out your are pregnant and try to lessen your chances of getting the dreaded stretch marks!
After the pregnancy if you have any stretch marks you may still have a few stretch marks, even after all the care you took. They say these will go away overtime.
Aside from caring for your skin daily and eating right, there isn’t much more you can do to prevent these beautiful pregnancy marks, but it doesn’t mean you do not have to try. Take comfort in knowing that most of the women you know that have been pregnant probably have a little mark or two, they may even have a map there or something!
Look at it this way, it’s like you have joined the gang of motherhood and you’ve just been initiated. You should not be ashamed of any stretch marks, they may not be the pretty but they do represent one thing…your beautiful baby.
Anyway, have anyone tried revitol stretch mark cream. If yes please let me know what you think of it and if you have others to recommend I would love to hear about it. <
