Really stretch marks are gonna come with pregnancy for most women. There isn't much you can do to prevent em if they run in your family, but to lighten themor maybe have less I've been using vitamin e body oil. And so far I haven't gotten any, but im also still early in my pregnancy
I'm using vitamins e oil capsules too and I just got some oil that I'm going to start using
Nothing can prevent them. Cocoa butter and oils and things like that just soothe them so that you don't scratch them and make them worse. Just try to stay beyond hydrated and don't put weight on too quickly the best you can. Mostly though, they're hereditary and basically inevitable if its runs in your family.
Studies have shown that lotions and oils don't protect against stretch marks. That only helps with itching and stuff , trust me just hope your one of the lucky ones that don't get them lol!
Yup...my doc told me if ur mama got em with u...ur gonna get...mines didnt so im 32 wks n have none yet..but im still freaked out so i use palmers cocoa butter mixed with eucerin...especially after the shower leave skin a lil wet then lotion the h2o helps the lotions/oils soak into the skin...good luck
My doctor prescribed me mederma gel. Helped with my stretch marks.
