Stretch Marks

[Dan3i]

Hi Ladies!!

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and got a few tiny stretch marks on my boobs. I want to get ahead of the game, I know they will be inevitable for me as I've got a few in between my thighs due to weight gain over the years anyway. However, would just like to keep them at bay if possible at all.

What did/do you swear by to help?

I'm using bio oil on my stomach at the moment - no idea if it will do anything but thought I would give it a shot! May as well.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has any success stories.

I didn't get any with my first. I used to drink at least 3 litres of water or squash a day, and then used Palmers Cocoa Butter cream every morning and night

Nothing external helps. No creams/ lotions or potions, as they can’t even penetrate deeply enough. What will be will be OP

Nothing can prevent them if you are prone as the damage happens in the deep layers.
All you can do it take good care of the healthy surrounding skin. Stay well hydrated and use a good moisturiser that you enjoy the smell of.
I use palmers cocoa butter on my skin. I'm covered in stretch marks and excess skin around my middle as I've had 3 singletons and a set of twins. Plenty of growing room for current pregnancy.

I used Elemis Japanese cameila oil.

Didn’t get any, and I put on 25kgs.

Unfortunately as pp said it’s all down to genetics, anything you put on won’t go deep enough to prevent them. Drink plenty of water to prevent dryness and a good moisturiser can stop itching, I use mama mio tummy butter, it smells lovely
