How To Prevent Stretchmarks - Thread 2

[nicoletta]

I used Shea Butter from Body shop during my first pregnancy and started using it now.  Hoping I won't get stretch marks again.  I have cottage cheese in my butt na nga what will happen to me if I have stretch marks pa sa tummy!

[fionaapple]

also used Bio oil in the first weeks of pregnancy. then i switched to Human nature's sunflower oil. a lot cheaper but works as well i think.  At 34weeks so far wala pang stretchmarks.

^sis skela96c, human nature user ako. At 17 weeks, sa ngayon ang ginagawa ko sa gabi nilalagyan ko ng Human Nature baby lotion. Pero subukan ko rin gamitin sa tummy ko yung sunflower oil ng Human Nature

I'm using Bio-oil as I'm on my 12th week. Naka-indicate kasi sa print ng bottle na you may use it lang when you're on your second trimester na.

Alternating between Bio-oil and Palmer's Cocoa Butter products. So far, so good. Feeling ko naman na-improve yung skin elasticity ko.

Ako din i use Mustela products. Nakasale nga sila nun bumili ako, I bought un package na 3 big tubes for stretch marks, hydration lotion (there are instances daw kasi na nag sag and dry ang skin ng preggies), pang varicose veins daw na good din pag nag manas na, then smaller tubes for the nipple daw pag nag itchy. Included na din mga 30 or 50ml na baby products nila (4 bottles), Then binigyan pa ako ng free travel size nun mga lotion. 1,800 lahat un package, good buy na din i think kasi andami inclusions na the pag bibilihin un solo lang na for stretch marks maybe nasa (900+ na din un.

-- hi littlekinselle, Mabilis maubos un pero try mo pa din until supplies last naman sila.

I use mama bee by burt's bees then for bath time I use Physiogel. Hopefully these two help. Prior to pregnancy though I've been using physiogel na. Then I got mama bee because of my research online.

I haven't ordered the mustela double action yet but i heard about bio oil and it is readily available at the chemist so i bought 1 kanina mid size bottle for $16. Ok ba talaga sya sa mga nakagamit na nito before?

[littlekinselle]

miss granger thank you sis! Nag punta kami kahapon sa glorietta napabili na din ako. Hehe 1,800 na lang siya.. Dami din freebies.. Buti na lang meron pa kasi 2 na lang siya. Hehe.
Then bumili na din ako ng VMV hypoallergenics moisturizer 700+ lang 10%off very safe sa preggy.

[mine121305]

^Yes sis.. may pagkamahal yung mustela. 1200 bili ko ng 125ml pero with delivery na yun. Ako naman nalate ko na nalaman na may mga ganon pala. I used human nature sunflower oil nung wala pa akong stretchmarks. Sa akin hindi effective.

Switch ako s mustela. Sana epektibo nga. Kahit malessen na lang sana or hindi na madagdagan.

Pero inaayos ko din diet ko ngayon. Napalakas ako sa sweets. Kaya naggrow yung baby. Yung skin ng tiyan nastretch bigla.

[littlekinselle]

^ sis try mo din bumili baka meron pa.. Clarins body oil na lang kulang ko.. Gusto ko din kasi try.

[aylatskie]

Ask ko Lang mga sis kelan pwede mag start applying oil/lotion for anti stretch marks? 9 weeks preggy pa lang  ako gusto ko na sana mag start. Prevention measure ba. Hehhehe.

[Miss Granger]

-- sis littlekinselle, NP sis 

-- sis aylatskie, sabi nung taga mustela, as early as possible pwede na maglagay ng pang stretchmarks.

[aylatskie]

Thanks Miss Granger. Grabe ang sabi naman sakin by 4 months plng daw ako pwede maglagay. Dito ako sa Sg nagtanong. Gusto ko na nga maglagay eh. Hehe. Thanks.

[mom.writes]

Yes the Mustela product is very helpful.
Also, invest in a postpartum binder!

In any case, a mom's stretch marks are her tiger stripes

[littlekinselle]

^Advice naman saken as earlier mas maganda gamitin un mustela.. Inom din ng water 2 liters a day. Para un skin di dehydrated..

[au_chic]

Nakaubos na ako ng 1 tube ng Mustela 5 weeks and 3 days lang ang tinagal ng isang tube, with twice a day application. Although, medyo naparami ata ako ng application the first few weeks I have 15 weeks to go until 37th week. Sana kasya pa ang na-hoard kong tubes noong sale    Naka-ready na rin ang training corset ko for use after delivery 

[stupidgal]

My derma asked me to stop all my anti stretchmarks ritual. Sayang lang daw pera kasi wala daw makakapigil sa stretchmarks. True enough, kahit matigas ulo ko, hindi ako nagstop, nagkaroon pa rin ako. Super daming oil then lotion/cream ang ginagamit ko. Come 30th week, hello stretchmarks na ko bigla.

Parang nagawa na lang ng mga rituals ko is anti-itch, nabawasan lang yung itchiness.

[au_chic]

^Sis, what creams and lotions did you use?

[caterpillar-girl]

I used Bio Oil religiously even BEFORE I got pregnant. As in twice a day everyday. I'm 33 weeks now and hello, stretchmarks! Kala ko yey effective! But come week 33, biglang lumabas! Red ones on my hip area. Konti palang pero still.

I hate it sa totoo lang. I don't see them as battle scars or tiger stripes or whatever. To me they're ugly. Oh well. I have them and that's that. Wala na ako magagawa kundi tanggapin.
