I have been lucky so far and haven't got any really bad stretch marks but now they seem to be popping out everywhere. Does anyone have any sugestions on what I should be using to stop them from getting worse?
I have loads of stretch marks and am using cocoa butter massage lotion...cant really say if it is working tho. Cant see any difference at the moment.....Sorry cant help.
I used Bio Oil during and after Pregnancy - doesn't stop the strech marks but they lighten the appearance of them. It is about $25-$30 for a bottle of it and lasts ages!!
Good to talk to other people about what they use. I remember my midwife saying that you can't stop strechmarks (all depends on your skin etc if you get them or not) however you can make them lighter.
I used cocoa butter. I still got (and still have) stretch marks but they have faded heaps, and the cocoa butter smells so yummy!

i heard it's related to your skin type as well, but the cocoa butter does smell nice....then it makes me want chocolate though. I'm hoping that since i didn't have any stretch marks from Jake, i'm still "stretched" enough not to have any from B2, but this baby feels bigger
I never got stretch marks either. I used Clarins Toning Body Balm with essential oils. Fantastic stuff and smells great!! There is also a toning bubble bath in the same range which I used too. I am sure that is why I didn't get any because all the other women in my family have stretch marks like you wouldn't believe!!
