I noticed during my pregnancy with my first son that I began to get cellulite on the lack of my thighs and the sides of them. It stayed, as I didn't loose ALL the weight, but my previous weight hadn't been healthy for me, I was horribly underweight due to poor lifestyle choices. I gained 45-50 lbs during my pregnancy then and lost 30-35lbs before becoming pregnant again. I've gained about 15lbs, maybe 20 thus far (I'm roughly 7 months) are there any tips to stop it from getting worse or to get rid of it after my son is born?

What can I do next?

K.-
Sorry-wish I could tell you that there is a magic potion to get rid of it or stop it from getting worse. Buth there's not. There are lotions though that you can use and after several weeks you'll notice a tightening of the skin. But you'd have to use it continuously on a regular basis. Sorry!

Hi, Katie
I wanted to let you know that I feel your pain! I am divorced mother with a 4 year old son. I work with a well known cosmetic and skin care company. I usually would not do this, but your questions goes right along with it. Our company is launching a fabulous new product on Dec. 10th that I think you may be interested in. It is for cellulite and 7 out of 10 women lost a 1/2 inch of cellulite on each thigh within 12 weeks. It is a two step system, 1 in the morning and 1 at night. You do not have to rub hard or anything like that and it also hydrates the skin. Let me know if you would like more information about it!
my email address is ____@____.com.

There us a cream with caffiene in it that I have heard works. I am not sure where to find it though. And hey you should look at online college for your teaching degree. Hope this helps.

Palmers cocoa butter! But it has to be that brand only...and NOT the one "for stretchmarks" just the original formula..bottle has kinda long neck...but Its the best...put it on as often as you can! The more rubbing and absorbing the better! It wont make them go away...but definitly takes the colloring out and prevents more from comming! It will help with elastisity! I've had 3 babies I used it with all three...I only have some on my hips and some on thighs...cuz I didn't do it for my third one...Lol...but it did stop them and take the purplely red colors out...now its almost invisible. Hope that helps!
