How to reduce stretch marks during pregnancy?

Beta, don't worry too much about stretch marks. Almost every woman gets them during pregnancy, it's very natural. Keep your skin moisturized, drink plenty of water, and try not to scratch. Most importantly, focus on the joy of your baby. They fade over time, trust me.

Hmm, stretch marks. While everyone is talking about creams, I always felt that eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies helps keep skin elastic from inside. Less junk food, more nourishing stuff! Though when you're pregnant, cravings are real, so it's a balance!

Yes, cocoa butter and almond oil helped me keep them less visible. Keep skin hydrated.

I'm just reading up on this as my sister is expecting. It seems like genetics play a big role, but many people swear by consistent moisturizing with specific oils like coconut or bio-oil. Interesting to see what actually works best for everyone.

While diet and exercise are important for overall health during pregnancy, for stretch marks it's mostly genetic. But staying well-hydrated and having enough Vitamin C and E in your diet can support skin elasticity. Consult your doctor for specific supplements.
