Pregnancy & Preventing Stretch Marks
Posted by in Pregnancy on January 5th, 2010
Don’t panic if you’re pregnant!
50% of mothers can expect to suffer from the purple embarrassment that are stretch marks during their pregnancy.
If you’re one of the lucky women to have avoided stretch marks during your teens and adulthood, but are now pregnant then I’m sure you know what’s coming. Want to be one of the 50% that suffer???
If your answer is ‘no’ then read on because below you are given the prevention secrets!
Your abdominal area will remain fairly flat for the first four months of pregnancy and then suddenly increase in size during the fifth and sixth month.
Extremely fast growth will cause the abdominal skin to a endure a significant amount of tension. In this situation the foetus is growing at a rate faster than your skin can keep up with, resulting in epidermal ruptures which in turn lead to stretch marks.
Because stretch marks are effectively scars, they are extremely difficult to erase completely, so prevention is key!
The best stretch mark cream contains 100% natural ingredients – squalene oil, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D3 as well as aloe vera and grapefruit seed extracts.
Together these ingredients form a powerful blend to increase the elasticity of your skin and help to stimulate the production of new skin cells. If you do already have some marks, then you can expect to see a reduction in their appearance.
The best time to start using preventative treatment is during the early stages of pregnancy or even better, when you are trying to conceive. However, it is never too late – even if you are already in the 2nd or 3rd trimester. Don’t wait any longer to start preventing!
In quality creams squalene oil promotes healthy skin while the vitamin E and grapefruit seed extract act to strengthen the collagen and elastin found deep in the lower epidermis. Through production of your own natural collagen your skin will become stronger and elasticity will increase.
This will significantly aid prevention of the dermal ruptures that eventually result in stretch marks.
Vitamin D3 compliments the vitamins E and A in the stimulation of new dermal cell production.
As pregnancy progresses abdominal skin can often feel overly sensitive and tight, and this sensitivity does not always disappear afterwards. Again, early prevention is your best solution.
Be careful not to get caught up in false promises. Some products offer to make stretch marks disappear completely.
Be sceptical. Look for products which only promise you realistic results: it can be very hard to remove stretch marks completely. A quality cream though will help you prevent stretch marks and offer good prospects of reducing the appearance of existing scars.
Just because you are having a child does not mean you can’t keep a nice body!

Cotton – Best Choice For Babies
Posted by in Babies on September 2nd, 2009
One of the main benefits of cotton clothing is the softness of the fabric. With a babies newborn skin it is sensitive, anything harsh will rub and irritate their new skin. Cotton is a super soft natural fabric that allows for better air circulation, which helps remove and absorb body moisture, drawing heat away from the skin and keeping the body cool and dry providing an ideal sleeping environment for baby. Also, because cotton clothing “breathes” better, it’s the best choice to keep your baby cool in hot, humid weather. The ends of cotton fibers are
spun very tightly into the yarn so that the fabric doesn’t irritate skin or cause static electricity making it very comfortable to be swaddled, dressed or diapered for babies.
Cotton is the preferred choice in hospitals and birthing centers, you will notice your newborn being swaddled in cotton receiving blankets after birth. Being non-allergenic, it is an excellent choice of material for anyone who suffers from asthma or allergies, or those who have sensitive skin prone to irritation. Pediatricians will sometimes suggest using cotton clothing and blankets for babies that have eczema or other skin maladies, before they will encourage using harsh steriod creams. Dermatologists also recommend wearing and using cotton products.
The fabric is durable, versatile and easy to care for. It can be washed in the washing machine and either hung to dry or put in the tumble dryer. It releases soil easily to retain appearance and be hygienically clean to be the ideal wash-and-wear-fabric – for you and for your family. Cotton has high tensile strength therefore can endure high temperatures and be sterilized. It is the only fiber that becomes stronger when wet being highly absorbent for drawing moisture out, providing premium comfort and softness for a happier baby.
For people concerned with environmental issues, cotton clothing makes a lot of sense. Cotton is biodegradable and a renewable resource. Cotton does not contain any chemicals and therefore is a natural product. In addition, cotton products are “finish free,” whereas synthetic fibers are often chemically treated to make the fiber suitable for processing. Organic cotton differs from regular cotton in the fact that no pesticides are used to grow it, which means less chemicals in the environment and less exposure for the people growing it.
Cotton absorbs moisture easily and can take up to one fifth of its weight in water before it actually feels damp, this being a great benefit if you diaper your baby in cotton diapers. Baby boys benefit from cotton diapers — The Kiel study found that excess heat in the groin area of boy babies wearing disposable diapers may be a cause of the reduced sperm count among males in recent years. Not only is baby more comfortable in cotton, this natural fiber is heathier for them!
Bottom line, the benefits of cotton are numerous, when having a new baby we as parents strive to do the best for our children, doesn’t it make sense to clothe, wrap and diaper them naturally? After all a happy baby makes a happy mama and if cotton helps……… why not?
