Fear not, my radiant incubator, for I come bearing tips that are as glamorous as they are giggle-inducing to help you embrace your skin’s dramatic interpretation of modern art.

5 Blissful Ways to Embrace the Stretch

1. Butter Me Up, Baby! - Slather on that luxurious belly butter like you’re auditioning for a role as a human croissant. Not only will it keep your belly feeling glorious, but it’ll also make you the envy of every pastry in the bakery.

3. Bubble Bath Extravaganza - Indulge in bubble baths like your claw-footed tub is an exclusive spa retreat. Candles, mood music, and the day’s ninth snack? An absolute necessity.
4. Brag About Your Battle Scars - Share your stretch mark stories like they’re battle scars from epic warrior tales, because that's exactly what they are—badges of you being a life-giving goddess.

5 Hilariously Bad Skin Advice That Belongs in the Flop Hall of Fame

• Embrace the Sandpaper - Someone suggests using sandpaper-textured loofahs. Yes, give me exfoliation, but I don’t need a DIY construction site – unhand me, please!
• Oil Me Up with Cooking Essentials - "Cooking oils work great on your skin," they say. Are you chicken, olive, or coconut today? Because we know our skin isn’t looking to sauté... yet.
• Don’t Hydrate—Exaggerate - “Drink less water to retain less fluid,” they advise. Cue reruns of that '90s sitcom where they suggest banana peels for more than just slipping on.
• Sunburn as a Toner - “A little sunburn tightens things.” Sure, and garlic is a vampire's BFF. SPF should be your real day-glow mantra.
• Glitter, Not Glisten - Sporting body glitter to masquerade as a ‘glow’ doesn’t qualify as authentic pregnancy sparkle. Unless you're auditioning for an off-Broadway production of “Disco Fever.”

Note this, brave belle-in-bloom: Sometimes, it’s best to let mythical advice ride off into the sunset… or stay in the reject pile.

4. Harness your inner mermaid and rest like royalty with a cool damp cloth on stretch-marked skin.
5. Bask in the glow of fluffy robes and oversized jammies. Just imagine they’re chic haute-couture runways.
