Eliminating stretch marks is a big concern for many pregnant women. As you plan for your maternity wedding, with thoughts of a honeymoon where you'll want to show off your baby bump in stylish swimwear, finding out how to reduce stretch marks will be on your agenda. These 8 tried and tested stretch mark tips will help you!
 - Massage your skin with a massage brush to increase circulation;
- At least twice a day apply lots of good quality moisturising cream all over your belly, breasts, thighs and anywhere else you think you might get stretch marks to super-hydrate your skin and keep it supple.
- Get some regular exercise ... but don't take up something new without first consulting your doctor!;
- Don't let your skin dry out ... pregnancy is time to be extra generous with your moisturiser ... especially if you enjoy long baths or hot showers, or if you've been out in a chill wind;
 - Eat foods rich in vitamins C and E, zinc and silica (which helps to form collagen), because they contribute to the overall health of your skin.
