I’ve worked hard my whole life to take care of my body. I workout, eat right, and want to go into beauty blogging eventually. I’m excited to be pregnant, but I’m terrified of stretch marks. How can I prevent them?

Cocoa butter! Get the really good stuff and keep your tummy oiled up through the whole pregnancy.
In reality, stretch marks are based on your skin’s elasticity which is largely hereditary. If you’re gaining weight slowly and doing exactly what your OB says, then stretch marks should be minimal. If you get some, don’t freak out. They can lighten up over time and there are scar creams that can help cosmetically. It just kind of comes with the territory. Drink plenty of water to hydrate skin from the inside too!!
