Aaarrrggggghhhhhhh...stretchmarks.

[PregnantGrrrl]

Anyone else having a minor explosion?

I had a couple of small ones and a crinkly tum after DS, which i actually though were quite cute ...

However- i'm 20wks and i can see an explosion in the offing I'm sure it's a girl!

Mine are still there from dd1 and are itching like mad with this preg. I'm using cocoa butter on them. Does soothe them a little?
My stomach is like a road map though.

NO NEED FOR STRETCH MARKS!!!!!!!! Sorry I'll explain!! I make a cream out of various infused plant oils (safe in pregnancy, not essential oils) and vegetable oils and seaweed. I've been using it for years on my face and when I was pregnant I used it all over and I have no stretchmarks AND the stretch marks on my hips from when I was overweight years ago seriously reduced to barely there at all! I gave some to a friend and it massively reduced her old, very bad stretch marks and my partner sold some to his patient who had scars from an op and it totally got rid of it!! Its mega stuff and I'm about to start selling it properly probably on ebay. Anyway if you're interested my email address is [email protected] (I'm a fully qualified aromatherapist for nearly 12 years)
Enjoy the rest of your pregnancies!! x

my tummy has become stretchmark central, am using bio oil and coco butter but im not going to worry too much until baby arrives besides i had some before i was pregnant and my partner didnt mind so he can just put up with a few more. The bio oil is good though, seems to be keeping them under control

i look upon mine as mummy medals!!

I believe there's no way to stop stretchmarks if you have the kind of skin that gets them! But it is lovely massaging oils n cocoa butter. MW recommended eating oliy fish, this time I'm taking pregnacare with omega oils, don't know if it helps. The damage was done with ds1, I have worst stretchmarks I've ever seen, all appeared in last 2/ 3 weeks pregnancy. DS was 9lb 10 and 2 weeks overdue, I'm a petite 5ft 2 so maybe this is why..

Really you can get rid of them!! The oils I use are extremely effective at re-elasticating (if there can be such a word!) the skin and there are some excellent essential oils for after birth and after breast feeding that stimulate the skin cells to reproduce.
I've been using it for years on my face I'm 33 and have no lines.
