Stretchmark pain eleviated!!!

Ok so I had to share this with you guys, I'm 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant... needless to say this kid has been growing faster than my skin can stretch in the past couple weeks. My stretch makrs have become painful like my skin is tearing apart from the inside (that's what it looks like too!) Anyways I was googling stuff and. Found that BREASTMILK is supposed to help fade and heal stretchmarks! I'm a skeptic... but hey, why not try it!? I thought. now idk about healing and fading them (this obviously takes time, and I just found this out last night) BUT I do know that after I applied the breastmilk to were new stretchmaks were starting to form and were it hurt, the pain was gone in like 5 min! I could touch the skin and it didn't hurt not one bit :)) and also the area on my stomach were all my stretch marks were (I decided to apply all over to start testing if it helps with fading) for some reason was always shiny... idk how to explain, if you have it too then you know what I mean, if you don't. You go girl. But anyways, after I applied the breastmilk the shine went away, like my skin wasn't working as hard to stretch anymore idk I'm not a dr lol. Well yes, that's my discovery :) I'm. Hoping it also fades the marks so I'm going to start applying two times a day (when I wake up and before I go to sleep) along with olive oil, another remedy for stretch marks that other mothers have sworn by. And we will see what happens!!

Breast milk works for a lot of things, including sore or cracked nipples.

That is something I will have to try. My strychnine marks got really bad when my stomach started itching really bad.
