I'm worried about getting stretch marks after delivery. What are some effective ways or remedies to help remove or reduce stretch marks that appear after pregnancy?
When I first saw them, I felt so sad and thought my body was ruined forever. But slowly I realized they are like beautiful badges of my motherhood journey, so now I just massage coconut oil gently and accept them.
Listen, there is no magic cream that will erase them completely, it is mostly genetics. Just use good old virgin coconut oil or shea butter daily, drink lots of water, and give it time.
A good moisturizer helps, but keeping your skin elastic from within is key. I do light prenatal yoga and daily walking, which my gynac allowed, to keep my circulation good and skin healthy.
With my C-section scar, I couldn't even bend properly, let alone worry about stretch marks on my belly. I just used simple bio-oil very gently after my stitches healed, and it really helped lighten them slowly.
