I didn't have stretchmarks at all during pregnancy, just after on my breasts and thighs when I was BF. Don't let it put you off BF though if you want to, because they have completely faded now.18/7/08 22:51
I have deep marks on my bum and tops of my legs little boy is 10weeks now and they are starting t fade but when i look at ds the marks mean nothing as he is worth everything, since being pregnant i was a size 8 now a 12 but i feel so much better in my self and more self confidence and believe me your boyfriend wont care about youe weighto or stretchmarks when he sees what you have made together. So try to stop worrying about them and enjoy your expanding bump. good luck with everything xx

Im 39 + 4 and have only got stretchmarks on my boobs. they are not bad and i dont have any others. I havent used any oil to try to avoid them coz i believe if your going to get them no amount of oil will help. one of the many joys of being pregnant...

Omg i was using it everyday through my last pregnancy sometimes 3 or 4 times a day but im absolutly covered with them, knees to boobs lol. literally lol. and i had a small baby lol xxx

I totally agree i put lotion and oil on twice a day (more during the summer) because i was really paranoid about getting them and i thought i had got away with it until i got to 35 weeks and then it seemed like i woke up one morning and they were just there!! but my mum and my sister both got strech marks so i guess it depends on the person an there skin type, I even got them on the back of my knees!! where i put on so much weight!! but having my daughter was worth it!!

I hate to break it to you but stretch marks are completely unavoidable. If you're going to get them, you'll get them regardless of what you do. Maybe some of the creams make them look less red, but it won't prevent them entirely. There are some lucky s*ds out there who just don't get them, but that's a genetic trait and can't be bottled and sold...
I've gotten quite fond of mine! I call them my "baby brackets"

iv used bio oil everyday since before i got pregnant, im 37 weeks now and just got 2 stretch marks about 1cm long each just buy my belly peircing scar, i think thats because the skin is tight there! so iv got the parlmers stretch mark cream now and guna use that as many times a day i can! fingers crossed xxxx

I have to admit that stretch marks are my absolute least of my worries lol, although I have been tempted to buy Burts Bee's tummy rub, it's meant to be really good they do a range called mummy bee and baby bee.

Hiya, i was stretch mark free until a few weeks ago. Ive got 7 weeks left n they r gettin worse. Since i found out i was pregnant ive used bio oil, regular baby oil, cocoa butter, lotions, and many more at least twice a day. I just think that it depends on ur skin type as to whether u get them or not. xx

ive got Palmers cocoa butter massage lotion for stretchmarks. has a pic of preg lady on front. got it for my hips as i have a few stretchmarks and seeing as im ttc when i fall preg ill have to get some more.
Has anyone used that Bio-oil with any success?
17/4/08 10:54
believe me i tried everything to try and prevent stretchmarks and at 38weeks pregnant ithought i had got away with it but then in the last week i got a few and they get worse when you shrink back

i use Dr. Palmer's Tummy Butter, it smells really good and its also cheap(i got it from Walmart). i use it every morning wen i get out the shower bt thanx to u guys im gonna use it twice a day.

YOU CAN BUY UNSCENTED COCOA BUTTER TOO.
I am completley plastered in stretch marks. I was religously using bio oil, cocoa butter, moisteriser. I even had afew of those professional preggy belly intense moisterising massages done and im covered!! I got them on my arms, boobs, back, belly, bum, hips, thighs and back of my knees. My body is a complete wreck. I think theres no avoiding em, if ur going to get em u will!!
My other half said though he doesnt think any differently though. He said they are part of us all,lol.
