Soooo TRUE!!! lol!
Earlier when I was examining my preggo tummy while taking a bath, I noticed a few signs of stretch marks near my belly button area. My first thought was, "Oh NOOOO!!!".
I admit that I am vain to some degree. Even though at my age, I still don't know how to put on make up, I still want to look good the natural way. I was planning to get a facial as soon as I can after I give birth to get rid of the pimple marks I got during pregnancy. And now, this! Waaaaah! :-( I didn't have this concern with Gabriel so I thought I still won't have it the 2nd time. But I guess, I'm wrong. Again. I've just realized that it's not the same with every child whether they're still inside you, or when they're already out.
Well, I'm trying not to panic but as soon as I finished bathing, I put on layers of body butter and lotion on my big tummy. Hoping to stop them from becoming worse and if I'm lucky, to eradicate these ugly marks. *sniff sniff* I'm sure other moms and mothers-to-be out there also want a clear, flawless skin (or as near to flawless as it can be) even after they already have children without having to pay for those expensive derma/beauty salon treatments. I know I myself don't want to spend money on those.
Anyway, I asked Mr. Google and found these links helpful. Just sharing, for other moms out there.
* Stretch MarksBut before you put anything on your skin, please be mindful that some beauty products are also not safe for your baby, EVEN if it's just topical.
* Safe skin care during pregnancy
Good luck and enjoy preggohood! (",)

Same here, Joy! I'm even vain myself but I don't know how to put on make-up and I'm never a fan of facials cause the extraction is so painful. Huhu.
Makahilak gyud ko. Sometimes it's also what you feel inside that matters. =)
I have stretch marks in my 2 pregnancies and it's all worth it. But I was able to prevent some... at least. hehehehe.
Yes, it's definitely worth it po, Ms Lili. :) pero mas ok sana kung wala..hehe!
