Stretch marks?
is there anything you can rub on your stomach to stop you getting stretch marks from pregnancy?i heard there was or is it just an old wifes tale?
Answers:
Keep the area moisturised with plenty of cream, and you don't have to use the expensive stuff, any will do. Baby oil after a bath or shower is excellent also, but you must start as soon as the bump shows if not sooner, pay attention to the area from your belly button down to your pubic bone as this skin is the most delicate and stretches easily.
There is no guarantee that you still won't get some marks, but they should be white instead of red so not as noticeable.
Good luck with the birth.
Though theres no guarentee thing to stop strech marks during pregnancy, i know something that will most defintly help. Its Cocoa butter lotion by the makers "Palmers". It either comes in a lotion form or an oil form. THere about 7-8 dollars a bottle at any drugstore liek walmart, target, walgreens, etc. Rub that on your stomach morning, afternoon and night. ALways keep it mosit with the lotion and try not to stratch. I guarentee you'll have little or no strech marks. I really hope this helps! And good luck and bless you and your baby!!
Bio oil apparently
I was told to just use baby lotion.....I did and I didn't get any stretch marks, but then again my bump wasn't very big.
I think it depends on how big you go and how small you where before....not sure if any lotions or potions can stop it!
The only thing that can help stretchmarks is time..and even that only a little.
Bio oil, a bit pricey from chemists, or coco butter or vitamin e oil.
BIO OIL
I used Palmers cocoa butter, they do one especially for pregnant women now, its about £5 but that was quite good. My sister used nothing and is covered in them but I used that and have hardly any (I had twins second time round too!)
They reckon you can't do anything to stop them but I haven't got too many. Bio-Oil is for getting rid of stretch marks I think, not to prevent them..
Good Luck with your pregnancy
there's a cream called Happy Event alternative Bio Oil.
You can get that same lotion that Nightsky was speaking of the Palmers cocoa butter lotion at Family dollar for 3 bucks.
yeah..it is sometimes u even get them without being pregnant or fat.try bio oil ..think it helps
Sometimes they cant be avoided. My acupuncturist told me to take zinc tablets during pregnancy . It stops the stretchmarks having any colour, so if u do get them u will barely be able to see them.
if you are genetically pre-determined to get them, then you will, but vitamin e capsules, or something rich in vitamin e is always good. just check out the ingredients in case they could react badly to bub.
The Bio Oil is definitely worth a go. I know people it has worked for.
i tried endless amounts of cocoa butter but it had NO effect and i can't stand the stuff now! Drinking PLENTY of fluids will definitely help your skin to stay elastic, and pregnancy vitamins may help too. Keep walking to maintain good circulation and try yoga to help stretch your body in preparation.
