A very good start toward minimising stretch marks is to get a good Vitamin
E cream and add 10% by volume of an extract combination of the herbs
Comfrey, Hypericum, Maritime Pine, Equisetum, Slippery Elm and Wheat Grass
to it.
This cream can then be massaged daily into your tummy, perineum and
upper thighs, or anywhere else you want your skin to be in top shape. It
will support the elasticity of the skin during the stretching and allow it
to spring back more effectively.
I can supply a 100ml Blend, sufficient to make up 1000ml (roughly 1 and a
1/2 pints) of body lotion when added to the Vitamin E Cream you get for
yourself, for $58.50 plus postage.
Massaging firmly and regularly is also part of the process and you should
develop a program of doing this twice daily and keep it going as a routine.
Maybe enlist the aid of a lover or carer for this. You should also consider
practicing perineal massage for the last three months also to get this area
in shape and to minimize the need for cutting or the risk of tearing during
the delivery. Get advice from your midwife or other professional, as to the
best way to do this.
