How to get rid of the stretch marks after pregnancy?

Q: Nine weeks ago, we had our first children - twins. My wife who was small in build has all of a sudden swollen up a lot. And also she has a huge stretch mark. She was given a lot of iron and other vitamins as necessary during pregancy. She also has a lot of pigmentation for which she has been advised to take B-Complex. How does she get rid of the stretch marks? Will she lose the pigmentation on her skin or will it be that way forever? When is the best time to start exercising again.

A:Pigmentation is a part of pregnancy associated changes in the skin and will disappear in coming months or so. For stretch marks apply, Vitamin E containing cream like Aloevera cream. For exercises consult a physiotherapist.
