| 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 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. ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

Yeah I have only just started to get them as well. I have been recommended Bio-Oil by several others, so will prob try that. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I used cocoa butter. I still got (and still have) stretch marks but they have faded heaps, and the cocoa butter smells so yummy! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
