How to avoid stretch marks?

Question

How can avoid them when you are pregnant?

Answer 1

I had three children and no stretch marks , i put lotion on my belly all the time. When I begin to itch I wouldn't scratch I would lotion instead. I didn't buy any special lotions I was just kept lotion on all the time the whole 9 months no breaks. People talked about me and told me it wouldn't work ;but I was told it would . I had seen some ugly stomachs and I didn't want mine to look like what i saw. So I decided to just keep putting on lotion and it worked.

Answer 2

There is no real way to avoid them. Some women get them, some don't, although the majority of women DO get them during pregnancy. This is perfect normal, do not freak out. Yes, stretch marks DO go away after pregnancy, unless you are overweight, and that way, your stomach does not shrink and the stretch marks remain.

Just eat healthily and exercise moderately after giving birth, and you'll be just fine.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that keeps skin elastic and healthy. Make sure to get plenty of it in your diet, and also rub vitamin E oil on your belly every day. You can get it in a bottle at most health stores, or you can squeeze the capsules, but that gets tedious. Another home remedy for stretch marks is extra virgin olive oil. My grandmother swears by it.

Answer 4

I honestly think that there's no way to dodge stretch marks once you become pregnant. But there are ways to get rid of them once you have the baby. It would be smart to eat healthy, and excercise, then rub cocoa butter on them every morning and night! It worked for my cousin!

Answer 5

I've been using Cocoa butter, but really I think you ae either pre-disposed to them or not.
My aunt told me I won't get them because I have a really deep belly button. I used to be able to get the whole first digit of my pointing finger into it, now I'm 20 weeks and can only get in as deep as the nail bed, but as I hear it, some women are popping out by now.
I've also heard of women breaking open Vitamin E capsules and rubbing them on the belly too.
Good luck!

Answer 6

You can't. I'm 37 weeks and I use cocoa butter day and night and I STILL have them but not as many. There's no way to avoid them.

Answer 7

U can't avoid them but u can get rid of them by using Palmer's Cocoa Butter. It works.

Answer 8

Don't think there is a way, I think its just your skin. I've been lucky 2 kids and don't got any. People think coco butter, those belly slaves, and baby oil. So either your lucky or not. Not sure if those expensive loations really work or not cause i NEVER TRIED THEM.

Answer 9

Answer 10
