So how can pregnant women prevent stretch marks?

1. Control weight gain

The weight gain during pregnancy should not exceed the recommended value, which means that generally speaking, the weight gain should be controlled between 11.5 and 13.5 kg. At the same time, a slow weight gain may reduce the chance of developing stretch marks.

Recommended plan:

A. Correct water drinking habits will speed up your skin elasticity plan. After getting up in the morning, you can drink a large glass of warm mineral water first. It can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and put the internal organs into working condition. In the early morning, it is very important to excrete waste from the body. If you are often troubled by constipation, you might want to add some salt to your water.

B. Adjust your eating habits. Eat fresh fruits as much as possible and drink less fruit juice. Drink skim milk and less whole milk. Drink clear soup and less thick soup. Eat more low-sugar fruits and less cookies and salads.

C. Moderate exercise or light housework can help restore skin elasticity. It is effective in increasing the skin elasticity of the waist, abdomen, buttocks, breasts, inner thighs and other parts.

D. Ensure a balanced, nutritious diet and avoid consuming too much carbohydrates and excess calories, which can lead to excessive weight gain.

2. Apply olive oil to prevent stretch marks

Expectant mothers should massage their abdomen with olive oil from the third month of pregnancy to the third month after giving birth. The massage method is to take an appropriate amount of olive oil every day and apply it evenly on the abdomen, buttocks, inner thighs and other parts, and gently massage for a few minutes until absorbed. Even if some stretch marks have already formed, diligent massage can prevent the increase of fine lines and the scope of stretch marks will no longer expand.

It is best to use it after taking a shower (because it is the best time for blood circulation throughout the body). It will be more effective if you massage once in the morning and once in the evening. Each massage should last about ten to fifteen minutes.

3. Use stretch mark protection products

Skin moisturizer can help keep the skin tender, but pregnant mothers should not expect it to help you prevent the appearance of stretch marks. Perhaps, pregnant mothers can try massaging their skin with wheat germ oil or almond oil every day. Some auxiliary therapists also suggest that you take more vitamin E capsules or massage stretch marks with vitamin E oil.
