During pregnancy your body goes through many changes. Skin tends to get dry, tightens up and most women will develop stretch marks. This will occur when your body grows faster and your skin can’t keep up. Don’t fret though, there are some things you can do to help prevent stretch marks or at the very least, decrease their appearance.
1. Drink plenty of fluids (water) and keep your body hydrated.
2. Get plenty of “safe” exercise during pregnancy.
3. Don’t gain baby weight too fast. Slow and steady wins the race.
4. Use products on your body to help prevent the appearance of stretch marks like the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion, Massage Cream and/or Tummy Butter.

I always like the Cocoa butter formula that Palmers uses. I wish that I had known about these particular products when I was pregnant (if they existed then) to help me lessen the stretch marks.
