Any luck with preventing stretch marks?

Question

My mom's stomach is the stuff of nightmares, and I'm dreading mine'll be even worse (I'm pretty small). Other than eating right, staying hydrated, and excercising, what might help?? I've read tha Bio-Oil works; has anyone tried it?

Answer

I use massage bars from lush. Any of them work this is baby number 3 and I'm stretch mark free. ( except my breast cuz I forgot to moisterize them lol)

Answer

Coconut oil. My mom and 2 sisters both have terrible stretch marks and I didn't get any on my stomach last pregnancy. Hoping I'm lucky again this time .

Answer

I put cocoa butter on my belly everyday, and so far at 30weeks nothing. My sister who just had her son did the same thing and she has very little streach marks, and they are skin toned.

Answer

Palmers cocoa butter in the float tin

Answer

Just moisturize as much as possible. Helps keep the skin hydrated while it is stretching. Also, dont scratch!! If your belly is itch dont scratch it. Some say it is genetic to get stretch marks. I dont really believe that. My mom's stomach is covered in stretch marks and mine is not. This is my 3rd pregnancy. Also, steady weight gain helps to. I use cocoa butter loation 2-3x a day. I love the smell of it and I cant stand anything that leaves my skin feeling greasy. Good luck!

Answer

It's just genetic like blue or brown eyes.... Some woman don't get strech marks - some get stretch markes even when they weren't pregnant.... Strechmarks usually appears about 2-3 weeks bevore birth.... Not earlier... But if you get them - they will faint and will be after a while just little ... For your own wellbeing take what ever you like on your belly....

Answer

Nope :/ i used bio oil morning and night and i still got big slash mark stretchmarks. Its been proven that its down to genetics and potions do little if not nothing to prevent them. Save your cash! Xxx

Answer

I had no stretch marks but neither did my mom so it wasn't surprising. Unfortunately it is genetic in a way. If you mom had them you are probably probe to them too :( I'm told the lotions and oils don't work but I used a lotion just in case.

Answer

Bio oil works well I've heard for preventing. I've used it for helping old scars from surgery and they have gotten smaller. I'm using belly butter from Rocky Mountain soap company. It also really really helps with itching.

Answer

I've been rubbing this amazing coconut oil on my belly everyday. Especially where I already have stretch marks.
