Not only is my belly still relatively free of stretch marks after almost the full 9 months, but even those stretch marks that I already had have faded and look much better than before I was pregnant!

Pamper your skin
Every pregnant woman worries about stretch marks and the effect of pregnancy on her body. Stretch marks are a form of scarring of the skin caused by rapid growth and stretching of the skin.
The damage to the skin occurs mainly in the dermis (which is the underlying layer of skin). Initially they may be dark or purplish in color, but then they often fade to silvery white streaks.
More than 75% of all women get stretch marks during pregnancy. Whether you develop stretch marks depends upon a number of factors including rapidity of weight gain, age, genetics, the condition of your skin and your general health.
The natural way
During pregnancy your skin needs to stretch to many times its normal size. The stretching occurs especially over the abdomen to accommodate the growth of your baby, but also over the buttocks, thighs and the breasts. The younger you are, the more supple your skin. Some women are also simply more prone to stretch marks than others.
However, there are many things that can be done to help your skin to stretch without scarring. Regular exercise is important for skin health. Also, make sure you drink lots of water to keep skin hydrated.
Applying a nourishing oil especially formulated to enrich the skin will help it to stretch easily and is also advisable. As always, nature has the answer! |
