Ladies Things

When did you start using it and did it work.

I am only 16 weeks but belly appears to be growing quickly.

hey! Yeh i tried it for a while but its not that good. It might be good in the early stages of pregnancy that you are in but when you get around to the 26+ wks i would try some BIO OIL Get it from your local chemist. (I dont know where you are from but im from australia) Oils are much better than the creams otherwise do both. You can never have too much when it comes to maybe getting stretchmarks! I thought i was going to be lucky and get none at all but mine started coming out at 34wks... and you dont get rid of them either!

If it's any consolation, 90% of women get stretch marks. While you can't get rid of them entirely, you can make them less noticeable.

Any tips on keeping your attractiveness during pregnancy?? & not getting out of shape, and staying beautiful in your face?

Also..any one know a product that helps prevent stretch marks better than the resT??

Good Question. Here are some tips:

Exercise! Many benefits come with exercise including a better body image. Even a simple walk around the block will get your heart pumping and your energy flowing.

Weight! Though you are free to eat a treat from time to time, don't go overboard. Keeping your weight between the recommended 25 and 35 pounds will help you keep up that confidence and you'll be proud of yourself too.

Shave! Keeping your legs smooth is a quick and easy way to feel sexier. You'll need to feel confident enough to let your spouse give you a foot rub and hairy lets aren't going to help any. Don't skip them.

Eyebrows! Outgrown hairs and stubs grab people's attention. A quick pluck can give you that fresh clean look you are looking for. For a new look, splurge and go to the salon to get them done. It is rather inexpensive and can do wonders.

Lotion! Believe me; I know from experience, it can be frustrating to cover yourself in lotion, but its well worth it. Lather up at least twice a day. Your skin will feel soft and radiant and you will be helping to prevent stretch marks too.

Dressing! Maternity clothes are usually another big issue. Be sure to buy clothes that fit. Don't try to squeeze into your pre-pregnancy clothes that weren't designed for your new, sexy, curvy body. Pick up a couple of pairs of jeans and skirts, and mix and match tops that will add color and style. Don't forget one outfit to go out in. You need to feel super sexy when you go out with all the skinny people. If you don't like the idea of spending money on clothes you'll only wear for 6 or so months remember, many of today's styles can be worn after baby too! Whatever you do stay away from the sweats and t-shirts, they won't do a thing for your self-esteem.

Pregnancy is one of the most amazing journeys you'll ever take. It's an experience like no other with feeling that just cannot be explained. Don't miss out on it because your busy feeling down about yourself. Look in the mirror and see what a beautiful and sexy women you are.

Retin-A (one of the things in many anti-aging creams) is very good for stretch marks. Nothing can make them disappear completely but it lightens them so much you can really only feel them and not see them. Retin-A is absorbed through the skin so it cannot be used while pregnant or nursing. And since it is most effective when the marks are at their worst, by the time you finish nursing, it may be too late to get great benefits from it.

I'm 24 and I have good body. The only problem is my stretch mark.

Massage: If you have a bulging belly, give a massage to your body and do sit-ups every day. Skipping also reduces the bulge in the belly.

Scientists lay stress on the intake of calcium instead of exercises or dieting to become slim and thin. Calcium releases a kind of hormone which maintains balance between the metabolism and blood-circulation. It burns the calories and the excess weight automatically reduces. Calcium intake in the food should be increased.

Avoid excessive consumption of coffee, alcohol, very high fat foods like chocolate and candy.

Eat regular amounts of fresh fruit.

Pay attention to your diet. The right balanced diet is the best natural cellulite remedy.

Strength training is an important natural cellulite remedy, which will reduce the appearance of cellulite as it increases muscle tone and decreases total body fat. But the way you strength train is even more important. A program that targets fat loss in the lower body, specifically hips, thighs and buttocks is ideal for most women.

Avoid unnecessary medication: in particular, avoid diet-pills and sleeping pills.

Tea: To reduce weight take tea with mint leaves added to it.

Take regular exercise, ideally in the fresh air. If outside exercise is impossible, do it inside. Or, do a regular series of breathing exercises.

Good luck in your modelling career.

Ive tried coco butter. right now for pregnancy but what is the best?

The most effective way to handle this problem is to follow a proper care routine that prevents their occurrence. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage. Check out http://useinfo-stretchmarks.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

I'm 19 weeks pregnant and are wondering if you can give me any idea's as to what is the best stretch mark cream to use to moisturize my body? I know that there are several different types on the market but didn't know what was the best!!

Thanks guys!

I used Palmer's coco butter. It is very good. Bio oil is also good but it is very expensive.
