Panda Express is so decently priced, you could order the four entree-four side family pack, feeding 30 people, and still only spend $179. Yâall, thatâs less than $6 a meal. Yes, I did the math for you and youâre welcome, because I loathe math.
Some women who gain little weight during pregnancy develop stretch marks. Creams or oils (such as vitamin E oil) or other treatments have not been shown to prevent stretch marks. They do, however, help with skin dryness and may reduce itching. Although stretch marks never go away, they fade to a lighter color, becoming less obvious after pregnancy.
Stretch marks are small, depressed streaks in the skin that appear most often on the abdomen in the later stages of pregnancy when the belly is rapidly expanding to accommodate a growing baby. Some women also get them on their buttocks, thighs, hips, and breasts. Stretch marks are caused by changes in the elastic supportive tissue that lies just beneath the skin. They start out pink, reddish brown, purple, or dark brown, depending on your skin color. They later fade, although they never totally disappear.
