How to Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks?

Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks

Pregnancy brings lots of wonderful changes and nice feelings for every woman. But few things come in between and create worries. Stretch Marks are one among them.

During pregnancy, stomach, buttocks, thighs and breasts swell naturally.  This results in rapid expansion and tearing of inner layer of skin (dermis) of the sexiest parts of female body leading to stretch marks. In the beginning, when the dermis layer tears, one can find thin red lines which later change into unsightly white lines. After delivery when the skin starts contracting, the stretch marks look hideous.

Good News: Stretch Marks need not be a part of Pregnancy

Rather than worrying about developing stretch marks, better take precautionary measures.  The good news for all women celebrating their pregnancies is, stretch marks can be completely avoided by

1. Making little changes in dieting
2. Taking little more care of our skin
3. Using a genuine stretch mark prevention product on the market (or one can go for home made formulas).

Yes, by following above three steps from the first month of pregnancy, you can easily prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.

1. Change your diet: Follow a controlled but healthy diet so that you do not put on weight very fast. Steady and controlled weight gain during pregnancy does not cause much damage to the skin cells. Take more Vitamin E rich food like nuts and seeds, fruits like pears and blackberries so that skin cells do not get damaged easily.  Drinking lot of water is a must to flush out all toxins to keep our skin healthy.  Drinking water also helps in keeping skin hydrated.

2.Take more care of your skin: Gently massage tummy and other stretch mark prone areas using a soft cloth to increase blood circulation. You have to keep skin moisturized using natural oil or herbs. (Chemicals based moisturizing creams are not advisable). Olive oil is said to be very good for moisturizing skin. Applying AloeVera plant’s fresh gel is considered the best as it naturally keeps skin moisturized and helps in collagen production that leads to new cell production.

3.Use a genuine stretch marks cream or lotion: Buy a genuine herbal stretch mark prevention solution from the market and apply on the stretch marks prone areas once a day. Your doctor might prescribe some vitamin supplements also to help regenerating and rejuvenating skin cells.

Preventing stretch marks is better than trying to getting rid of them later

One can easily prevent stretch marks by making little changes in diet, drinking plenty of water, massaging skin, applying olive oil or aloevera (or both) twice a day, using a side effects free stretch mark solution once a day. Though this list looks big, doing it is not as difficult as it appears. Definitely least difficult when compared to the embarrassment stretch marks create and the trouble and cost of removing stretch marks.
