Q: How can I avoid getting stretchmarks?


I've seen some pretty gnarly stretchmarks on some women after pregnancy. I am pregnant now and want to avoid them - seriously avoid them! What can I do so I don't end up with hideous stretchmarks?

A: Use lots of Cocoa Butter



I've heard that lathering up your stomach during pregnancy with Cocoa Butter helps prevent stretch marks (as much as possible). Unfortunately, most women get them no matter what! So remember that they are just a small sacrifice to make in order to create a life.
