Stretch Marks

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and despite a most diligent moisturising routine have developed stretch marks in the last fortnight. I know that this is an almost inevitable part of pregnancy for many if not most women but wondered if anybody could recommend an oil or moisturiser which actually does help minimise them?

No. But my little boy is 1 and they've gone back to skin colour without any effort from me. Mine were a bit red so be reassured they do get better!
Just moisture for comfort if nothing else.

There isn't one sorry.
They will fade over time though.
I got such a shock when I noticed mine - only after having DS because they were on the underside of my bump!

Thought that might be the case. Comforting that they do fade quite quickly though!

They're so itchy, I'm quite sure I was told this by women I know who have already had children but it somehow didn't sink in until i got them myself!

Coconut oil seems to help a bit more than regular moisturiser. They do fade though.....but there is a certain looseness of the skin that hasn't gone for me sadly
