I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant (well, 24 weeks and 1 day) with my 5th baby.
As I was getting changed in the locker room the other day at the gym with my girlfriends, they were amazed as to the small amount of stretch marks I have on my belly. Both of them have had 3 babies each, and they quickly both started chatting about how their bellies look like roadmaps with all the stretch marks! They were making me laugh, but in all honesty… it’s something us moms and moms-to-be think about.
With my first (4) pregnancies, I was able to decrease the amount of dreaded STRETCH MARKS because I started early in lathering my belly with creams and lotions that did their best to help prevent them from forming.
It’s not that I’m against stretch marks, let’s face it… they are a mom’s badge of honor and courage. We earned every single one! Every stretch mark a mom has on her belly is a beautiful and natural thing, but (and this is a big but) there are ways to decrease the amount of them that you may get. Many of us don’t want 100′s of them, and there are ways to decrease the amount that you may get, it’s just the matter of taking the time to lather your belly with some fabulous creams and lotions.
Not to mention, it’s the most common beauty question I get from pregnant women on my own personal blog, “Can you share the best stretch mark creams to try?” I thought it would be helpful to list some of my FAVORITE products that I have tried and used and loved.

I have been reading a lot about the importance of shea butter, I have to add stretch marks to the list of shea butter benefits 🙂
