pregnancy overall IS a beautiful experience. minus the morning sickness, minus the backache, difficulty in sleeping, and other not so great stuff.. when we sum up all the negativity that comes with pregnancy, somehow or rather i guess we still view pregnancy as a beautiful experience kan hehe.. so amongst the not-so-best stuff that comes with the beautiful round belly is stretchmarks..
i know this is not a comfortable subject for some women. but i still think it is important to write about.. stretchmarks also happens to people with fluctuating body size - kejap bdn naik, kejap turun, then naik balik.. so it is not just a pregnancy issue..
being in this stage right now, we will try our best to do whatever we can to prevent it from happening. i know some preggers who did all they could tp stretchmarks tu keluar jugak.. ada yg stretchmarks tu kuar at the very last week of pregnancy, sblm tu okayyyyyyy je.. ada yg awal2 da keluar da.. ada yg tak buat apa2 pun, tak letak cream ke oil ke butter ke pun tak keluar jugak, tu org yg lucky la.
so what am i using now? m using palmer's cocoa butter for stretch marks sejak 12 weeks til now.. m using both products below, twice a day..
some of my friends are using bio-oil..
these are some other products that we can try too kalau sempat and kalau jumpa and harga ok.. hehe..
if you already have it, dont feel bad.. 70% of women get it.. some doctors are saying it is genetic gak.. whatever it is, some websites said it is best to keep ourselves hydrated.. that is one of the best and cheapest way to prevent from getting stretchmarks..
as of now alhamdulillah i dont have it yet.. m hoping i will not be in the 70% mentioned above. i know that once we have it our self-esteem will definitely drop.. and since i am always over-critisizing myself, m sure if i have it mmg abis la my self-esteem, self-confidence and all.. mmg mcm fall of the building a few stories la.. hahahaha!
