I bet any pregnant woman has experienced this particular fear. I mean, who wouldn’t be afraid to have an itchy belly and see spider webs showing up on their tummy while growing a life inside their womb? While stretch marks cannot be prevented, they can be reduced. A lot of pregnant women swears by cocoa butter and moisturizing lotion to lessen the stretch marks on their tummy.
As for me, I don’t fear the appearance of stretch marks that much. It’s because I believe it’s a natural phenomenon. If it appears, then I let it be. I just take a bath daily, apply a gentle soap on my tummy and rinse well and wear light and comfy clothes.
