I have what resembles a road map on my now very saggy pouch. They ome right up past my belly button and even after a year of having DC2 they are still red.

Is there anything I can do or use to make them go away?? Also how do I get rid of my pouch?? It's not fat just flabby, strectched skin??

Bio Oil is supposed to be the best thing.

May be a bit extreme... but while they are still purple/red you can have lazer treatment to get rid! Once they are silver you're stuck with them.
I tried some decleare (sp?) stuff with mine... didn't work... they're now silver. Generally don't bother me... but I will NEVER again wear a bikini!!!

lavender oil. a few drops in your bath and some rubbed in with a carrier oil. I use covent garden's mum to be oil. (should have used it whilst i was a mum to be obviously!!). Even if it doesn't work then you're so relaxed and sleepy you just don't care!!!

bio oil is meant to work
MIL bought some for ds1 (who has a 1cm scar right in the middle of his forehead when a boy a school threw a car at him).
NOt noticed much change, but then nt been using it for long.....

Should try it on my stretch marks!
