stretch marks!!!!!!!!!

[moominmonsta]

I was wondering if anyone knew the best way of not getting stretch marks before my belly gets bigger. Or if there even is a way??

by all means use moisturisers etc if you want to but apparently its genetic. If youre gonna get them then itll happen whether you like it or not. Of course some creams make make them less noticable after baby is born.

I remember being so pleased at getting to week 38 and being huge but only having one mark. 4 weeks later my tum looked like a road map. Still, was all worth it.

there is nothing at all you can do to prevent stretch marks. nothing. you either get 'em or you don't. i have abelly full of them. my boobs and bingo wings haev them too. after a while though they fade to a slivery type colour and become less noticable. bio oil does work pretty well though - dunno if it's safe to use pregnant though, but i used it for a week or so on the stretchmarks on my bingo wings and i really noticed a difference - although that could just be me and mind over matter and hoping for a change in appearance lol.
moisturising helps your skin so do do it but don't expect it to be a magic cream that stops stretchmarks :)

hi, try rubbing pure olive oil on the areas that are gettin bigger , mornin and night time

I agree, its the luck of the draw. I had a 9lb baby and not a stretch mark in sight and I didn't do a thing to try and prevent them. Just lucky (but have many other areas of wear !!!)

Hi ,
I have always had pretty bad stretch marks around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but it didn't seem to work. My Doctor had even suggested a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. My stretch marks disappeared in 3 weeks. You can read more about the lady's article at the link below.
