Author’s Experience
When I was pregnant for the first time, I went to a dermatologist who prescribed a formula with components like grape oil, and some other ingredients, but for me it didn’t particularly help, they appeared and in large quantities in the abdomen. Although I used almond oil after bathing, they still showed up, so it didn’t work either.
Now in the second pregnancy I used the cream that really played an important role for me, it was Hidramamy, it is very fragrant and very good, I didn’t have stretch marks in this pregnancy. I got to try Luciara too, but I confess that Hidramamy won me over on that occasion.
In the 3rd pregnancy I got a cream from a friend, she bought it for about U $ 5.00 in the USA and it was another passion, it is called Cocoa Butter for pregnant women, it is a tube that yielded the whole pregnancy, because I alternated the use with the Hidramamy cream, the two together were perfect!
It has a great coconut scent and surprised me for its price and quality . Here in Brazil you can find it for approximately R $ 70.00, it is a big difference of values so if you are going to travel abroad or know someone who is going, then it makes a lot of difference to bring from there.
Stretch marks … I already had them, and now there is a solution? So, nowadays there are very advanced treatments when it comes to striae, soon I will talk about them more deeply.

Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
