Actress Rebecca Romijn, who is expecting twins in January, recently told InStyle magazine her trick for preventing stretch marks: “I’ve been using organic coconut oil on my body to alleviate stretch marks.”
It is best to use all-natural/organic or creams made specifically for pregnant women to ensure that you are not using and products potentially harmful for your growing baby.
