The birth of every baby is the hope of every family, but for the mother it is both happy and painful, because from the day the baby is born, she must be mentally prepared to face stretch marks. Stretch marks come with pregnancy, catching many pregnant women off guard. They are red, purple, and mottled, and the skin on the abdomen, thighs, etc. looks like it is torn, which is very ugly.

The specific method is to take an appropriate amount of olive oil on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, start from the navel, gently massage in a clockwise circle, and then slowly expand the range until it is evenly coated on the entire abdomen. When massaging the buttocks, put an appropriate amount of olive oil on the palm of your hand and massage from top to bottom with moderate force until all the olive oil is absorbed. When massaging your thighs, take an appropriate amount of olive oil and massage from the knees upwards, evenly applying the olive oil to the entire thigh.

3. Strictly control your diet. Many pregnant women eat and drink as much as they can for the sake of their children. Experts point out that doing so will not only cause overweight and lead to the birth of a giant baby, but will also make the abdomen bigger and put a heavy burden on the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control diet, on the one hand to ensure nutritional intake, on the other hand to reduce abdominal pressure. You can eat more pig's trotters and pork skin which are rich in collagen to help increase skin elasticity.

4. Maintain moderate exercise. Quite a lot of pregnant women stay at home to rest during pregnancy and don't even do housework. Experts recommend that pregnant women should exercise moderately every day, take a walk, and do some housework, which can not only consume excess fat but also prevent cephalopelvic misalignment.
