Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to prevent or get rid of stretch marks unless we have corrective surgery or laser therapy. Stretch marks affect some women and not others, some of it depends on genetics, some skin tone, pigment etc. Moisturizing and stretch mark creams will help with itchiness and softness but will not prevent or get rid of marks. Truthfully, You're better off taking a multivitamin and an omega3 supplement and drinking LOTS of water. This will help maintain your skins natural elasticity so you will bounce back from pregnancy body changes more quickly. I personally am a fan of the gnc brand prenatal package, I take the iron part and the omega but have been skipping the extra calcium (just preference).. They're SUPER gentle which I love bc literally everything makes me want to puke these days. Gnc also just started selling a women's hair/skin/nails chewable and individually packaged vitamin called be-BEAUTIFUL http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4021747 that I really like. The chewy version is sooooo tasty Anyway, dont let these physical changes get you down too much.. I'm a grown woman and in the beginning of my pregnancy I called my mom almost daily crying about my seemingly uncontrollable pregnancy acne, AWFUL hair and.. Get this.. Freckle infestation. The freckles were not a huge deal but the acne and dry, brittle, frizzy hair were really unbearable. There was no makeup on the planet that could cover this stuff, acne skin care was too harsh but anything less powerful seemed to make it worse. Finally my mom said to me, "honey.. You're earning your stripes (or spots in my case) you're becoming a superhero, you are earning your way into a very elite group of women..., Mothers. You will see how powerful you truly are when you give birth, but remember that your child is a mirror of you in many ways and although it is scary, sometimes downright horrifying, to watch your exterior beauty change, and fade as you age, you will find that the beauty of raising a child, the power that comes with teaching your little one the ways of the world, protecting them with new found lioness vengeance and then watching them become an incredible little force, will make you feel sexier than any bra, boob job or wrinkle cream" Were fighting some intense battles as pregnant women, imagine if you heard a soldier say "please help me, I'm so ashamed of these scars, the scars I earned protecting my country" all kinds of wrong! Youre beautiful, mama.
I would say lather up A LOT & avoid scratching! Have u been putting creams & stuff on your boobies? I've noticed that stretchmarks appear on me where I failed to lather up often (like my upper thighs) ughh. Instead of scratching I run my fingernails VERY lightly over my belly hehe.
