How to Prevent Stretch Marks When Pregnant

When I became pregnant with the twins, I told myself that I would accept my body exactly as it was and go easy on myself. My body was growing two humans and it changed and grew A LOT! It’s a miracle that I’m so grateful for. Even though I was easy on myself, that didn’t mean I was going to stop taking care of myself or try to prevent stretch marks as best as I could. I know that all of our skin is different, and I think that oftentimes getting stretch marks is genetic and due to hormones. Here’s what I did to take care of my skin while I was pregnant:

How to Prevent Stretch Marks when Pregnant: 3 Tips


1) I drank LOTS of water. I always had a jug of water near me so that it was easily accessible. Your skin needs a lot of water, especially as it is stretching so much, so I made sure to drink a lot.

2) I ate lots of good fats from foods like avocado and almonds. I tried to incorporate them into my meals and snacks each day, and have them easily on hand so that I grabbed those things instead of the junk food that I often wanted instead 🙂 Much of taking care of your skin and body is from the inside out, so eating lots of healthy food is important. Don’t worry, though, you better believe I indulged in a donut or pizza more often than I should have as well!

3) I used the Spoiled Mama Stretch Mark Prevention Kit every single day without fail, at least once, but most of time in the morning and at night. I would use the Peppermint and Vanilla Body Polish on my tummy, bum and thighs in the shower. It buffed away the dead skin and really hydrated my skin. After I dried off, I would rub on the Bump Gloss Stretch Mark Oil, then top it off with the Tummy Butter. I always made sure to get my thighs and bum really well too.

That’s it! My belly grew REALLY fast in the last couple months and I thought that I would definitely get stretch marks so I was preparing myself to accept it, which would have been fine. Our bodies make beautiful humans so if stretch marks are a side effect of that, I think it’s worth it. As my body started to shrink back after pregnancy and lose the 50 pounds of water weight (hello, preeclampsia!!), a few stretch marks showed up on my bum, but my thighs and tummy don’t have any stretch marks at all. I think a lot of that has to do with what I drank and ate, and using the Spoiled Mama products religiously.

Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

This is the best pic I got with my 3 today 😂 Baby is the size of a 🍋 lemon, Harris swore that was his best smile, and Tyler’s finger just had to make itself known in the corner of the pic! Goldie was the most excited about this 😂👯‍♀️

I’m also thinking of those of you who are struggling to grow your families and those of you who have lost your mothers so this day brings up some sadness. ❤️❤️❤️ #parcellsundayselfie #mothersday2022 #mybabiesforever

Goldie is in LOVE with her baby sister or brother and always talks to my belly first thing before she talks to me 😂 She’ll pat my belly gently and say, “hi, baby!” I’m excited to see her become a big sister and for Harris to be a big brother!

Also - CRAZY fact that always blows my mind🤯 the baby in my belly is technically the same age as the twins because the embryos were fertilized at the same time. This embryo was just frozen for 6 years. HOW?!! 😂 #ivfsuccess #goldie_says #frozenembryotransfer #13weekspregnant
Happy Sunday! What do you love to do on Sundays th Happy Sunday! What do you love to do on Sundays that you normally don’t do on other days? One of the things we have started doing after church is @comefollowmecolorclub with my kids! They learn about that week’s lesson (we are studying the Old Testament this year) as they learn to draw something. It’s so much fun for them and feels great for me as parent because they’re having fun while learning about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I got a code for you because I know many of you would be interested as well! Code JENICA gets you 50% off your first month or 20% off the year.
