Doula and Stretch Mark suggestions..

[Guest guest]

just wanted to agree on how great doulas are cuz I'm one too:p.. I

certainly wish id had one when i had my daughter, it wouldnt have

been such a disaster, then again I would've never become a Doula had

i not had that experience, everything certainly happens for a reason.

 

Not sure who it was looking for suggestions on what to add in a

lotion for their friend to keep stretch marks away, there isnt much

because sometimes you're just genetically prone to get them. Just

try to do some things to help keep your skin smooth so that when the

skin stretches it doesnt have to overwork itself..only thing i

suggest to clients IS, make sure you drink a LOT of water..at least

close to a gallon a day..avoid caffeines, anything that might

dehydrate you, apply olive oil to your skin, belly, breasts, thighs,

amongst other places:) i also suggest the JASON hemp plus lotion for

all over skin smoothing, been using it for the body massages i do on

my pregnant clients,and i use it myself..

BUT, ive read that yarrow and lavender are known to help, might add

those to a lotion but like i said, if you're prone to get them, you

probably will...good thing is they get lighter after a while:)

considering i gained 81 lbs during my pregnancy im VERY glad they DO

get lighter and that they were only on my lower belly all in all not

a bad trade for my 9 1/2lb cutiepie-Loren
