While pregnancy can be an exciting and joyous time for the expectant mother, the toll that it physically takes on her body can be anything but a happy experience. From morning sickness to stretch marks every woman’s experience with these challenges will be different. Morning sickness is temporary and will subside a great deal throughout the pregnancy. Stretch marks however can be permanent. While not painful are otherwise physically irritating, this unfortunate skin condition can do a great deal to damage a woman’s self esteem. These scars are considered to be unattractive and cause many women to avoid wearing bikini’s are other revealing clothing. Stretch marks are not just caused by pregnancy. Bodybuilders get them as do anyone else who experiences a period of rapid weight loss or weight gain. But science and medicine has advanced to the point where today there is legitimate treatment options. Stretch mark creams like Trilastin-SR are guaranteed to be effective. Consulting a dermatologist about cosmetic surgery is also a valid option. But don’t suffer in silence. If you are severely depressed, talk to your doctor or family counselor.
