Vidhu replied. hi richa,
good that u have opened up this topic. I spoke abt this to my doc last time and she suggested me to get a cream caled Delivera....I had severe itching on my breasts which was difficult for me to scratch in office :-)
She asked me to apply that cream on my breasts & tummy whenever it itches...Also she said i need to use it regularly from 7th month. It is nice. I have not noticed any stretch marks on my tummy so far, but have been using it continously.
Take Care.
Vidhu Richa replied. Dear all mommies......

Thnx for a warm welcome....i hvnt been using anyhting till date for stretch marks as my doc told told me tht there is hardly one cn do to prevent them coming....but i hve read in the book tht I m consulting...wherein it says tht the best way to prevent ur areas frm strecth mark is to keep it oily...as in well lubricated...n it suggests to use almond oil with lavender aroma oil mixed in it...I hve developed a lot of itching in my breasts...n it becomes really difficult at this season to even wear the support....but kya karein..lol..!!!!

Megz....hve no clue of the Doc...Khurana as I m consulting a doc in Paschim Vihar...though too far but was a reference frm family... ramya replied. Hi Richa

Gud 2 hear that ur staying in delhi..Well I dont stay exactly in Delhi,but I stay in Noida,n I consult a doctor whosz in delhi...Well richa cud u tell me one thing,whom r u consulting for ultrasound?WEll my doc suggested Dr Ashok Khurana.He has his clinic in Defence Colony..Heard that hesz very gud..Any idea abt it?

Well regarding stretch marks,I dont have it till now(may be coz I' m still in the 19th week)n moreover since the start of my pregnancy,I' ve been applying daily Johnsons baby oil on my tummy...So may be till now I didnt see any strech marks..I' ve also heard that for avoiding strech marks,we shd apply Vitamin E oil,or vaseline petroleum jelly immediately afetr we take bath..Planning 2 do that Once I' m in my 20th week..N also u can try strechmark cream,its also supposed 2 be very gud..

anyways do write back soon,n take care
loads of luv

Good to hear you' re from Delhi. I went to college in Delhi but now live in Ireland. There' s quite a few products you can buy for stretch marks. I use an oil called \" Bio Oil\" and a cream from Body shop. I use them twice a day and I seem to be doing fine. No really stretch marks. I' m sure in India there' s must be some good stuff you can get..how about shahnaz, wd she have a range for preg women? What do you use? By the way, do you find your belly and breasts itchy? My breasts are driving me crazy because they are so itchy.
