Stretch marks!!

Jessiewilliamsxx · 25/04/2014 10:13

So when I was pregnant my daughter was laying very forward and my bump was ridiculously big (42cm by 36 weeks) and my daughter is very long, she never fit into newborn haha! So my belly button was literally pushed out to the max(may have a hernia now) but I have very deep stretch marks surrounding my belly button, does anyone have any stretch mark creams they recommend or anything else?

Firm massage is supposed to be key to healing scar tissue, as is time of course.

A good rub around the area with your fingertips after applying a nice oil or cream should help. I don't think any magic ingredients exist, despite what the advertisers would like you to think.

And keep them out of the sun for a while.

they will vanish or they won't, depending on your genetics. Soothing ointment may be comfortable but will make no difference.

save your money.

What special said - cream and massage but any old cream will do.
