stretch marks

[tweeni]

how early did u all get them and where?

I used bio-oil and didn't get any either pregnancy....

wots bio-oil?

bloody expensive is what Bio-Oil is. My mum brought some for me but i didn't remember to put it on as often as recommended. I probably deserve the 50000 stretch marks I have

Beware of putting anything on that smells at all if you have morning sickness. I started at 8 weeks putting cocoa butter, and one year after DD was born, I still can't stand anything with cocoa butter - and believe it or not, that includes the majority of things in Lush! So beware.

I didn't get a single stretch mark until 37 weeks. I actually felt hte first one come - it was like my skin tearing - which is exactly what was happening really!. Anyway, downhill from there and I have tonnes. But they have faded, and I have a gorgeous gorgeous girl to show for it all so I am very proud. No more bikinis for me though! Apparently Wheatgerm oil is the best as it has so much vitamin E in it.

Do slather it on as it feels nice, and I reckon anything relaxing for you is goo dfor hte baby. Also, it makes your skin feel less tretched, so even if it doesn't scientifically prevent stretch marks, it feels more comfortable...
