The correct way to apply olive oil during pregnancy

Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will develop a series of abdominal skin problems due to skin stretching caused by pregnancy, the most common of which is the appearance of stretch marks. Stretch marks make women both proud and sad. They are proud that they can have their own baby, but sad that they can no longer wear beautiful belly-baring clothes. Olive oil has a good repairing function for stretch marks, but what is the best way to apply olive oil to maintain your beauty without harming the baby?

The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the continuous expansion of the abdomen during pregnancy, coupled with the influence of hormones. Under the external traction of the skin, the elastic fibers and collagen fibers are damaged or broken to varying degrees. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, and pink or purple wavy patterns of varying widths and lengths appear. Most expectant mothers will begin to develop stretch marks during the 5th to 6th month of pregnancy, mostly on the abdomen, but may also appear on the upper thighs, breasts and other parts of the body.

Whether you will get stretch marks depends on one's own constitution, genetics and other congenital factors, on the one hand, and on the other hand, maintenance before and during pregnancy is also very important. Expectant mothers should pay attention to physical exercise before pregnancy. They can do appropriate massage, warm water bath, etc. At the same time, they should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins to enhance skin elasticity. After pregnancy, while ensuring a balanced and nutritious diet, you should insist on moderate exercise such as walking; avoid gaining too much weight too quickly; while taking a warm shower, you can gently massage the skin on your abdomen to make the skin more elastic.

Some skin care products, such as olive oil, are also good for moisturizing the skin and preventing dryness and itching. Persistent use can increase skin elasticity to a certain extent and prevent or reduce fiber breakage. However, expectant mothers should not expect too "magical" effects when it comes to preventing stretch marks with skin care products, and should not use them blindly, which may lead to allergies, redness, swelling and other discomforts. Generally speaking, these patterns will gradually fade or even disappear after delivery and will not have much impact on your life. The health of the fetus and the safety of the mother are more worthy of attention.

The technique of applying olive oil to pregnant women is very important. Incorrect technique can indeed cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the fetus' neck. Generally, when your pregnancy starts to show after four months, you should rub olive oil on your belly in a counterclockwise direction with your hands. That’s what I did. It was originally wrapped around the neck at 26 weeks, but it stopped at 30 weeks.

The correct method is to apply olive oil on your belly during pregnancy to reduce stretch marks. It is usually best to start in the sixth month of pregnancy. The method is to use the navel as the starting point and massage in circles in a clockwise direction. The circles should spread outward from small to large until the entire belly is evenly coated. Twice a day.

Especially expectant mothers, after learning these, they must be very happy about how to apply olive oil to keep themselves perfect without harming the baby. I believe these studies will be helpful to you.
