My belly is growing, and I want to keep my skin moisturized to prevent stretch marks. I have some shea butter at home, so I was wondering if it's safe and effective to use on my pregnancy belly. Has anyone tried it?
Honestly, just slather whatever grease you find on your belly because the itch is real! I used shea butter and still got stretch marks, but at least I didn't scratch my skin off. Now I have a baby who keeps me awake 24/7, so stretch marks are the least of my worries!
Actually yaar, shea butter is super moisturizing and totally safe to use. I used to apply it right after my bath on my belly and it kept the skin so soft. Don't waste money on expensive anti-stretch mark creams, this works best!
There is no need to buy those fancy, overpriced pregnancy belly creams that cost a bomb. Plain organic shea butter or even simple coconut oil from the local grocery store does the exact same job. Save that money for your upcoming hospital scans and delivery expenses instead!
I am in my 5th month now and my belly has started itching so much lately. I was thinking of buying shea butter but was worried if it's safe or if it might cause any rashes. Did anyone else face extreme itching around this time?
Oh, I used raw shea butter throughout my pregnancy, and it really helped keep the itching away! My baby is a toddler now, and looking back, those stretch marks do fade over time anyway. Just keep your belly moisturized, it's a beautiful mark of motherhood.
