A plastic surgeon told me bio-oil is the best thing for scars...

My stretch marks came thick and fast in the 12 days I was overdue . I was so bummed as had I not gone overdue, I wouldn't have got any at all . But they don't really worry me anymore...the saggy belly is what has me upset ]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 20:37:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=251590&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#251590 <![CDATA[When do stretch marks appear? : I was told that wheat germ oil...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=251165&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#251165 Author: mummy_dee

I was told that wheat germ oil was also really good, but I've never tried it myself. So I don't know if it has a scent. I was also warned that it can turn your belly yellow!]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:03:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=251165&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#251165 <![CDATA[When do stretch marks appear? : Can anyone suggest another product...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=251125&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#251125 Author: maltese

Can anyone suggest another product besides Bio-Oil or Cocoa Butter that is good for stretch marks? I would prefer something that has no scent (or definetely not as much as cocoa butter!)

Thanks!]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 09:11:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=251125&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#251125 <![CDATA[When do stretch marks appear? : meow wrote:You don&#039;t want...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=246500&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#246500 Author: peanut butter

me too! I knew I had one tiny weeny one above my belly button which I thought was kinda cute but I was suprised to find a few little ones under it too. But they are pretty minor.

I also had them as a teen and I didnt use any oils during my pregnancy so you might be lucky too]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:56:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=246500&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#246500 <![CDATA[When do stretch marks appear? : Didn&#039;t get any here except...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=246427&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#246427 Author: Rachael21

I have stretch marks from when I was a teen on my boobs and hips so assumed I would get them on my belly! I never got any on my belly at all, but I did use bio oil twice a day religiously. Don't know whether that helped or not!

Aside from that I have a huge belly button hole now though ]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 09:10:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=246249&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#246249 <![CDATA[When do stretch marks appear? : I got a couple after Madison was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=246247&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#246247 Author: Kicker

My sister got her first at 3 months...  so far I haven't got any either.  But am expecting them to appear later.  Mum refers to her belly as a road map, lots of streets and a couple of main highways....  I've been religiously rubbing bio oil in mroning and night and if my tummy gets a bit itchy during the day I head into the loo and rub more in.  Silly isn't it, I'm sure there is no miracle remedy - and I'm well beyond bikini's so no one except hubby will ever see them.

Good to know, hehe meow I've checked under the bump already (I can see down there still).

I have half a dozen or so and they appeared in the last few weeks, really thought I might've gotten away with it but no.

They won't necessarily appear at all. I never got them on my tummy. I think I got some on my boobs very early on in pregnancy but they're barely noticeable and don't bother me.

stretch marks will occur when your belly grows faster than your skin can grow to accomodate it. so generally will be in the last month that you will get them lots. you lucky thing, you might get away with only a few!]]> Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:24:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=245751&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#245751 <![CDATA[When do stretch marks appear? : I have some (hardly noticeable)...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=245748&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#245748 Author: emz

I have some (hardly noticeable) on my boobs from when I was younger, and some at the top of my thighs from growth spurts when I was a teen, so I know I can get them. Just kind of assumed I would get them on my belly by now? Not that I'm complaining, I'm quite happy not to get them!

Oh, and I don't know if it makes much difference, but I'm carrying quite small compared to other ladies I've seen. So when did you get them if you did get them?

And if I do get them, I can't use all of the stockpile of BioOil I have because I've got a wonderful pregnancy-induced rash on my tummy at the moment. So please stay away stretch marks! ]]> Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:20:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=245748&title=when-do-stretch-marks-appear#245748
