Preggy me needs skin care…

I remember the first time I got pregnant. I applied an organic cream on my tummy to prevent stretchmarks however I got rashes instead. The rashes were so itchy and since then I did not care putting on anything anymore. I do not care about stretchmarks anymore because I already have them. Now, I wanted to take care of my skin because it has become drier now that I am almost done with the first trimester. I want to look great still after giving birth to my second baby. So to prepare myself I am going to apply moisturizer everyday that is made of natural ingredients such as shea butter and coconut oil. This will prevent my skin from getting even more dry and itchy. Of course, I will also need sun protection. But I am still reluctant on which one to use. I am afraid the contents might have harmful components that could cause negative side effects to my baby. I do not want that to happen. So I will be searching more information about it. For now, there is nothing to worry about UV rays and heat of the sun. My work is in the evening anyway.

I was really not conscious about my beauty stuff so I did not have the usual reactions that women get when they get pregnant. But there was one thing I did not want to get, STRETCHMARKS!!! They said it looks ugly and because of its color your skin will be stained with red and dark lightning-like traces on your legs and tummy. I became so worried about getting some and so my husband suggested we buy a lotion or cream to prevent it from forming on my skin. We went to the mall and found one that says it is specially formulated for pregnant women to avoid getting stretchmarks. I got one for myself. However, no matter how specially formulated it is for sensitive pregnant women’s skin, I still got rashes all over my tummy after a week or 2 of applying it diligently day and night. Now, I am suffering and everytime, the itch is so unbearable I want to cry! You couldn’t just imagine how I regretted the day I started putting it on. I know it was really effective for preventing stretchmarks for when the rashes started to appear and I stopped using the cream, the stretchmarks started appearing on my inner thighs and limbs. So now, I have 2 disgusting and depressing skin problems, stretchmarks and itchy rashes!!!!!! What can I do? huhuhu…
