Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks

Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks – What can I do to prevent stretch marks?
To prevent stretch marks during pregnancy a lot depends on your skin elasticity and the type of skin you have. And while we can look after our skin and keep a good diet before and during pregnancy this means that preventing stretch marks is largely outside our control. One helpful tip is to try and make sure that you don’t put on weight too quickly (note that your baby is the first priority and needs adequate nutrition) by avoiding unnecessary snacking and by consulting your doctor for any conditions such as gestational diabetes in a timely manner. There are many creams and ointments and the market that claim to help prevent pregnancy stretch marks but there is no proof we are aware of that they work. As time goes on and after your baby has been born the stretch marks will generally become narrower and smaller and go a light color but more often than not they will not disappear altogether.
