Stretchnil for stretchmarks

Hi girls,

I used a cream from India called Stretchnil when I had my son and I had almost negligible stretchmarks. This time too I had my friend get it from india when she was on her India trip and have started using it since the 4th month. I think it helps to a great extent - especially to reduce the skin itching. And it smells wonderful! Give it a shot! Oh yeah - its an Ayurvedic cream - so no side-effects.

Regards,
Anu

Thanks Sowmya and Vandu...my doc has now prescribed me a aloe vera cream called ' Delivera' , she asked me to use this regularly to prevent stretch marks..have been using it, lets see how much it helps...also am using moisturisers regularly for the whole body..just keeping my fingers crossed :)

Stretch marks

Hi all

I am also 20 weeks preg...got my u/s done yday...baby seems to be fine.
Reg the stretch marks, i feel moisturiser is the best solution. i apply it as many times i need to.
Pls dont scratch the tummy if its itching as that may lead to marks that will take a long time to fade away.
Best of luck

Stretch Marks

Hi all,

I got a few stretch marks starting 20th week. I understand creams may help. But no medically proven creams are available for this. Only helpful tip is to drink plenty of water, and gain only prescribed weight gradually. This way our body gets adjusted to the growing utrus.
