I used cocoa butter with vitamin E and it actually worked, I quit using the lotion 2 weeks before my baby was born, she dropped, and then the stretch marks came, but I only have 2 of them and they are low down because she dropped, so try it ! It worked for me!

Good luck….I tried everything and still got them. If you do get them, it’s ok, a part of life. You can look at them and remember how excited you were just to be pregnant =)

Congrats!

My mother did have stretch marks, so naturally I assumed I would have them also , although I prayed that I did not get them. I simply soaked myself in baby oil afer ever shower. (I think I went trhough two of the larger bottles) I would just put as much on my stomach as could I stand. I ended up with not one stretch mark!!!! GOOD LUCK ! And Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

hey, same here:) every day looking at my broadening tummy I keep on praying there r no stretch marks and my thin waist is soon back:) I’ve got a special cream to prevent stretches, not on cocoa butter base… something herbal, the name is "I knew"- it’s for pregnant women and must be safe. Otherwise they say even a good moisturizing body lotion can work the same way, just u have to apply it often enough (and make sure it’s safe for pregnant)
I asked experienced women – stretches can be completely avoided, even after multiple pregnancies.

A good way to tell if you’re going to have stretch marks is to check your mom’s belly. Your genetics may save you if she didn’t get them. Some women don’t get them at all. My sister used stuff called Belly Butter. It’s expensive (about $25) and it’s a small tube, but it must have worked because she only has 2 faint lines now (2 months postpartum).

HA! I truly believed there were ways…I tried EVERYTHING! I used concentrated baby oil gel, pure vitamin E gel, collagen elastin cream, etc…etc…etc…

And I got them anyways. I know how you feel, because I was DETERMINED not to get them…but I did.

On a brighter note, they do actually fade. My cousin said hers started fading around a year after each of her 3 kids was born. And a good friend of mine showed me hers the other day (from a year & a half ago), and they’re fading a lot. It certainly wouldn’t be the first thing you looked at if you saw her belly. They don’t stand out much at all. Another friend told me she actually managed to almost completely get rid of hers with a couple years of faithful vitamin e gel application.

My plan right now? I’m gonna keep gellin’ my belly until baby’s born & beyond, and keep my fingers crossed! =]
