Dry Tummy Skin/ Avoid Stretch Marks

Another small problem or one can say another body change during pregnancy is stretch marks. But they can be avoided to a large extend if you take proper care of your skin in those 9 months.

Stretch marks are caused due to :-

1. Genetic (Ask you mum if she has them)
2. Dry skin

So reason “a” in unavoidable but can be taken care of and reason “b” has to be taken care of, which means do something for your skin. J

Body Parts where stretch marks are more visible :-

a.       Stomach

b.      Thighs

c.       Upper Arm

d.      Butts/Hips

 So things to do( How to avoid stretch marks) :-

 1. Use a good amount of oil after every bath on your affected body parts (without fail). Oil which can be used are:-

 

Oil name	Expensive	Availability	Smelly	Skin type
Coconut	No	Easily	No	Dry to Normal
Almond	Yes	Easily	Yes	Dry
Baby	Yes	Easily	Has fragrance	Any
Olive	Yes	Easily	Yes	Dry to Normal

 2. DO NOT SCRATCH your tummy. Instead whenever you feel like scratching put oil or creams to avoid them.

 3. Drink loads of hydrating drinks like WATER, Coconut water, ginger ale.

 4. Avoid all aerated drinks, tea and coffee.

Are Stretch mark creams useful?

If you do not believe in natural way of curing then go for these creams. They are good but how do they affect you in long term, I have not come across any study. So use them after asking your gynaecologist only.

Happy mommying
