We don't like them, but our child is more important than them. It on the belly and on other parts of the body appear for 50% of pregnant woman. What we can do is to prevent those, or at least to make sure that those will disappear after pregnancy.
The stretch marks appear frequently during the 6th and 7th month of pregnancy, and they are determined by breaking collagen fibers on the skin. They have the aspect of long lines. Initially, they are colored in red and violet, but later, they will become white. They are not painful, but sometimes they can itch.
How can we prevent those
Women hope that they will not get these, but what is the point in risking? You need a stretch mark cream during pregnancy, even if the unwanted stripes didn't appeared. You can even think about using it for preventive reasons.
If you have somebody in your family with this (especially grandmothers and mothers), it means that your genetic luggage has this tendency. The marks appear whenever the skin is the subject of a major change of the organism. The stretch marks are not only characteristic for pregnant woman. On the contrary, our agitated lifestyle with diets and exercises might lead to the appearance of those.
The best treatment for it is prevention. The creams against stretch marks come with more benefits, if you know how to choose those. Even if you already have those, the treatments might remove them for good.
Best creams
Lotions based on vitamins A and E, or with grain germs or cocoa have a visible effect. Of you find a cream during pregnancy based on those elements; you can be sure that it is right for you. Your medic can give you more ideas. After all, pregnant women are different and the best treatment for stretch marks for one woman might not work on another.
Natural oils
