Treating BRAND NEW stretch marks … b4 they get too bad
Hello everyone! I did an EDS search for “bio oil” and “stretch marks” and came up with 180+ something results… and I needed a little refinement…
So, here's the deal. I'm 8.5 mo preg. with my first baby. Just YESTERDAY I noticed my 1st preg. induced stretchmarks (two). They're still dark, brand new & I'm hoping I can do something NOW to prevent them from getting worse, spreading or possibly becoming permanant. Now, I realize I might be dreaming, but that if there was ever a group who might know the answer, it'd be you all.
I did a coupla internet searches and found a few people singing the praises of a product called “bio oil.” I also just ordered some strivectin. Thinking about adding Vit-E oil.
I would LOVE some advice before I purchase EVERYTHING on the planet.
Currently (and throughout my preg.) I've been drinking about 10-12 glasses of water daily (minimal soda etc), taking fish oil and flax oil pills a few times a week, eucerin lotion after every bath/shower. This month I added 'aveeno bath oil' instead body wash.
My previous experience with stretch marks: some on my hips/thighs from being a teen, & breasts from 'becoming a woman'… all have faded to VERY light, not noticable, and nothing to be ashamed of. Im olive/lt tan… halle berry colored.
I'm not concerned with treating thse old marks, just the brand new (still dark) ones.
Please keep in mind. Retinol & Vit. A derivatives are to be avoidedduring pregnancy & while breast feeding. So, although I know they're supposed to be one of the FEW things to actually treat stretch marks, they're a no-go for now.
Okay – so…. whatcha got?
P.S. THANKS
