There is no way to prevent stretch marks. They are scar tissues caused by the over-stretching of the skin. You may experience them on your abdomen, breasts or upper legs.
Some Women Have Tried...
-
Eat foods rich in vitamin E and Vitamin C. These nutrients are necessary for healthy skin.
-
Keeping your skin moisturized won't prevent stretch marks, but it can prevent some of the dry itchiness some women feel as the skin stretches.
-
Don't waste money on treatments. They will not prevent stretch marks, and they will minimize on their own after your baby is born.
