I'm using bio oil but still got some - funny enough on the sides of the tummy where I hadn't thought of using it at first! My actual tum (the round top part) is fine so I'd def recommend bio oil - just remember to use it everywhere. ]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 21:04:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=102033&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#102033 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=102019&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#102019 Author: jax

I'm a bio oil fan too, seems to be helping them fade, but used all sorts of things during pregnancy and got a ton of them anyway ! Didn't really bother me though as I have already been there done that with previous weight gain / loss etc.]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:25:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=102019&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#102019 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=102018&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#102018 Author: Anna

I got terrible stretch marks first time round, and second time round I got stretchmarks on my stretchmarks. But to be honest I didn't use any cream, perhaps I should have?]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:23:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=102018&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#102018 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101998&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101998 Author: busymum

I didn't bother with creams etc as I already had stretch marks on my hips from puberty! As it turned out I got not a single one with #1's pregnancy but lost weight so quickly afterwards that I got them then They do go silvery after not too long so mine don't bother me.]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:12:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101998&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101998 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101987&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101987 Author: Bombshell

ive been using bio oil right throughout and altho it doesnt stop them the redness has gone from them already...which is good...
I also have some funky lavendar and something or other stretchmark cream (nice MIL gift huh?) that feels nice at night but is very greasy for daytime...think it is working too - ive run out of biooil....off shopping tomorrow...]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 19:53:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101987&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101987 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101979&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101979 Author: sparkle

Well, you learn something new every day!! I've never heard before that they are genetic, will have to hit mum up about it!

I'll keep up with my body butter anyhow..........may aswell try!!]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 19:04:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101979&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101979 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101977&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101977 Author: hailstones

I don't see the point in trying to prevent stretchmarks since like the others have said they are genetic. I will however use bio oil after the baby is born to reduce the visibilty of them if I see the need]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 17:35:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101972&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101972 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101962&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101962 Author: lizzle

I've heard some great tuff about bio oil but mainly for after the stretch marks or c-section scars have appeared. i loved the butter range from the body shop[ - also like the cocoa butter but my hubby kept saying I smelt like "off-chocolate" which put me off slighlty - mango butter was nice. i think most of it is just something nice and relaxing you can do for yourself, I too am a thinker that the stretch marks are gentic. Neither my grandmother, mum nor myself got them while pregnant. While NOT pregnant...well thats a differnt story!]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:52:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101962&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101962 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101949&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101949 Author: mummy_becks

They are genetic so if your mum has them its pretty much a certain you will have them. However I have been told that after you get them and after baby comes to use bio oil and that is meant to help with the taking away of them. A woman I know did this and she ain't got any now.]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:03:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101949&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101949 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101945&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101945 Author: cat

I'm using baby oil to keep my bump skin supple, a friend recommended it. There's not much you can do to stop stretchmarks if you are going to get them. If your mum had them chances are you will get them. Luckily my mum didn't have them so here's hoping.]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 15:56:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101945&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101945 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101943&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101943 Author: Leish

Hi ya - apparently, strechmarks are genetic and if you are going to get them - you will get them - no matter what you rub on your tummy. I already had strech marks from my previous pregnancy but I have still been lathering myself in Palmers cocoa butter every day to try and minimise the new strechmarks. I am only now starting to get a few new ones and it smells soooo yummy. Every little bit of pampering helps to make you feel good when you're pregnant. ]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 15:54:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101943&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101943 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5276&PID=101939&title=keeping-your-bump-supple#101939 Author: Sarah Beth
