A while ago, I was reading over a story about this woman who was trying to prevent stretch marks during her pregnancy.
She explained that she used a cream on her belly that was effective but she made 1 mistake.
I thought to myself, I can relate to this.
When I tried to prevent my stretch marks during pregnancy, I made the same mistake.
What me and this woman both had in common is that we didn't apply the creams over other areas that stretch marks can appear.
I have read many other stories of women trying to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy who have gotten them in other areas that they didn't expect to get them.
They only applied the creams in the most obvious places such as the abdomen and thighs.
When you are pregnant, you can get these marks in various other places.
Remember, your belly isn't the only thing that is growing.
You will be gaining a lot of weight fast in other areas.
One of the things I learned about the other women stories and mines is that you should apply whatever cream you choose to use all over the body or at least on the places that is growing rapidly.
Such places are the breasts, thighs, and buttocks.
These areas can grow faster than normal when you are pregnant so it is a good idea to also pay attention to these areas.
Any area on your body where skin is rapidly stretching or growing is susceptible to stretch marks.
If you are trying to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, avoid the mistake of only paying attention to your expanding belly.
Apply creams or lotions or whatever you are using to other areas.
This way you may be able to avoid getting them in other places that you might have not thought of.
