The pelvic rock, the camel pose and tree pose are just a few f the moves in a pregnancy yoga DVD that can help energize and revitalize your system if you are feeling sluggish during the pregnancy days. The famous Lamaze Institute also recommends shoulder stretches and a queen dancer pose in it’s prenatal DVD. It helps with preparation for labor and delivery by strengthening the core muscles. 

Speaking of which there are some yoga poses that you can use even while in the delivery room such as squats, downward facing dog pose (with support of course) and the cat or cow pose.

Pregnant women are the targets of numerous scams and miraculous stretch mark skin care creams are the most common. While a small amount of Vitamin E can be nourishing for the skin, to expect that it will make all stretch marks go away overnight is not reasonable. Regardless of what is put on, the skin will in all likelihood display scars of drastic stretching that occurs over a short period of time. The degree of successful healing depends upon a person’s age, skin tone, heredity and diet.

The common cause of stretch marks is the stretching of the skin, increased cortisone production that undermines the skin’s elasticity and the interruption of collagen production. Typically, pregnancy or other weight gain causes the appearance of stretch marks. However, other folks might get these scars too. These include body builders, growing teenagers, those taking Corticosteroids or those with a hereditary disorder, such as Cushing’s syndrome, Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Folks may be predisposed to these unsightly marks if they have dry skin, do not drink sufficient water, eat excess fatty foods, exercise too little or too much, take steroids, smoke or drink.

Although there is a variety of supposed stretch mark removal treatment options available, the majority are at best only partially effective. The least invasive treatment is the use of stretch mark creams like Tretinoin cream (Retin-A, Renova) that can assist with new stretching during maternity. These creams work by rebuilding collagen with the effect of reducing stretch mark appearance. Also available for new marks is Pulsed Dye Laser Therapy or Fractional Photothermolysis, both of which use wavelengths of light to stimulate collagen and elastin growth. For older marks, Microdermabrasion employs a hand-held device to buff the skin surface with crystals, thereby getting rid of skin cells from the top layer of skin to promote newer, more elastic skin growth. In addition, for older white marks, the Excimer laser endeavors to encourage melanin production to reduce the appearance of the scars.

Because ninety percent of women encounter pregnancy stretch marks of some sort, there is no need to lament or agonize your new body. Your hubby will forever view you as the mother of his children, which holds a very special meaning, irrespective of how your body has altered during these last nine months. On occasions, a couple of sessions of self confidence counseling can do much more than some miraculous cream for preventing stretch marks during pregnancy that might do little more than cost you money. Unless the scars stretch over large sections of your whole body, you need not worry about these innocuous marks. The best thing you can do is focus on weight loss, feeling restored and looking after that warm, snuggly new baby.
