I'm Currently Feeling: | I use to rub my itchy belly with my son, but it didn't help I still got angry red lines. Do you have any cream? that might help sooth it too. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Use olive oil or shea butter to rub your tommy. Keeps the stretch marks away  - so says my gran! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I heard that Palmer's cream is good. I got one and started to use it like when I saw the positive test.
I think the best thing is to put cream from the time u know u r preggo. And dont scratch!! If u can!! hehehe |

I'm Currently Feeling: | That's right Suzan, Palmers is good or the real cocoa butter! I use Shea Butter now.
Well I always use it or cocoa butter on my skin anyway, I'll just up the frequency now ... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Use cream - that palmers one made me itch more, but try that. Also theres bio oil or the one I swear by (even now) is this one from Boots own pregnancy range - Honey Olive and Neroli (ask for it when you're there). It's lovely!
I had such an itchy belly when pregnant too! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | They say if your mum had stretch marks, most likely you will too.. no matter how much you moisturise. I moisturised a fair bit and still got angry red stretch marks just like my mum.  Moisturising will help though! so keep doing it mornin and night. |
