Stretch
Mark Treatment and
Prevention Options
Stretch
marks are a direct
result of rapid skin
expansion. Genetics
play a major role
in whether or not
you will develop stretch
marks during pregnancy
or not. Your skin's
elasticity, as determined
by the collagen structure
around your abdomen,
will either prevent
stretch marks from
developing or not.
There is no conclusive
medical evidence that
stretch mark creams
or lotions prevent
or remove stretch
marks but some women
say they do.
To prevent
and or reduce (
)
the most important
factor is to keep
your weight gain at
your doctor's desired
level. Please review
the information found
on our trimester pages
for normal and acceptable
weight gain.
