I'm Currently Feeling:  | i am prone to stretch marks and have been putting on coco butter for a couple weeks now but honestly i don't think it will prevent the inevitable (atleast for me) although it may help a little and not make it as bad is it *could* be. You never know...but trying wont hurt! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My mum got covered in stretchies so I'm not holding out any pretence that I won't get them. Plus I got a load on my hips when I went through puberty although they're barely visible now.
I've been using Bio Oil every day since about 6 weeks. I love it, it smells gorgeous and leaves my skin so smooth. So whether it works or not, I'm enjoying using it, lol! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My mum never hasn't got any, even after 2 pregnancy's and ahe is now in her late 50's!! I on the other hand have quite a few from my previous pregnancy and expect to look like a road map of england after this one!!
Last time i used bio oil and santuary mother to be cream, but neither worked for me! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used different moisturizers all the way through pg with DS, in fact, I use them permanently anyway as I suffer from eczema - didn't make a blind bit of difference - I have stretch marks all over my tummy - they started fading a bit, but since I got pg again they seem to have become more prominent. I think it just depends on the person whether they get them or not. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I got stretch marks on my hips when I was a teenager and have been using cocoa butter on my tum since I began to show. I used it on my boobs while they were growing too. Dunno if I'll get stretch marks or not but don't care too much. It's not like I'd ever show my stomach to anyone other than DH anyway! lol |
