Hi, I am in my 3rd month of 1st pregnancy. I would like to know how to avoid the Stretch marks post pregnancy and what kind of precautions i would take now to get the desired results. I am gaining lot of weight right now. Further, is it normal to do intercourse during the pregnancy or there are certain good or bad times. Please suggest.

Thanks Angel replied. Cocoa butter formula is the best. You should get it at a good drug store. philly mom replied. Hello Ruch,
While I was pregnant with my first one, I had asked my OB/GYN'S the same Q abt stretch marks. for which they said that it was hereditary and there is no way we could avoid stretch marks. But then, thru' various analysis I came to know that it can be reduced by applying cocoa butter starting from 3 or 4 months.. luckily I did not have much stretch marks... do not know if it was b'cos of cocoa butter.. now Iam preg with my second one, planning to do the same.. let's see how it works... all the best with ur pregnancy...

All the best

There is no sure shot way to avoid strech marks. Some women get them some dont.
You could try to rub vitamin E cream on your belly it may help.
Assuming that you are having a normal pregnancy with no other complications you can have sex after the first 6 weeks anytime.
