You
cannot prevent it but you can minimize it..
• Drastic weight gain is one culprit you
can control; try and gain weight gradually since
healthy weight gain is a natural part of pregnancy.
You will still get them but with gradual weight
gain, the skin will stretch without tearing so
the number and severity of this problem is lessened
• A diet rich in protein and vitamin C helps
to promote and maintain healthy skin
• While many people swear that vitamin E
creams, expensive oils, salves and emollients
does wonders, many women who use such products
still get these pregnancy marks. So it is really
a question of you being predisposed to this problem
or not. Genetics and weight gain have a heavier
role to play in whether you acquire pregnancy
stretch marks or not.
• These creams at best moisten your skin,
keeps it well conditioned and this in turn will
keep itchiness at bay. (Stretched skin feels itchy
rather easily)
