Almost every first-time pregnant woman falls for this one: a commercial comes on TV promising a special cream that will not only from occurring, but actually get rid of them once they do. Only the carefully worded ad doesn't actually say the cream will eradicate them, it says it "may" eradicate them.
In reality, there is no real way to prevent stretch marks - with the exception of not suddenly putting on excess weight in a short period of time. We get for a variety of reasons: hormones, pregnancy, weight gain. If your mother had them, there's a good chance you'll get them too.
The big question, then, is not what kind of coconut oil or Vitamin A cream to rub all over your skin to ward stretch marks off, but what to do about them once they appear.
Why We Get Stretch Marks
Stretch marks, or striae distensae, are simply tiny skin tears that occur when we grow too quickly. They are actually little scars which occur when the lower skin layer tears when it doesn't stretch as quickly as the upper layer.
Girls - and some boys - get them during adolescence, we get them when we get pregnant, and we get them at any time in our lives when we suddenly find our bodies getting bigger fast. In fact, it's estimated that 90 percent of women get stretch marks when they are expecting, whether it's a deep purple and red map across the belly, or a few fine lines on the breasts.
The most common places for stretch marks to appear, in both men and women, are the tummy, thighs, hips, breasts and lower back. Some people also get them on their upper arms.
