stretch marks

[splashy]

Hi ladies

Just wondering when everyone developed stretch marks? (If you did)

Also what have you done to try to prevent them and has this worked? I know there are lots of creams out there!

Thank you

This is an old thread, but if you’ve come across it while searching for advice or information on stretch marks our guide to the best stretch mark cream has been recently updated to reflect current availability and new releases. It includes a wide range of options from oils to butters, cream and balms designed for stretch mark prevention, relief and treatment. It’s been compiled using the advice of skincare experts as well as Mumsnet user recommendations. We hope it’s helpful!

I've had two dc and no stretch marks, I used Bio Oil twice a day (first thing in the morning, last thing at night) being careful to rub it in everywhere - stomach, thighs, boobs, and it worked oh and lots I drank lots and lots of water, for baby mostly but it also helps your skin

I used Solgar vitamin E capsules, pierced them and rubbed the oil over my bump every day. Its not cheap but I didn't get a single stretch mark on my tummy and I was BIG. I didn't use it on my boobs however and got quite a few stretchmarks on them.

Keep hydrated too as Seashore says, it all helps
