A Tip From 3rd Tri - Page 2

Hips, your lower back, your bum, inbetween your legs, tops of thighs, boobs and stomach are all places prone to stretch marks.

I got them on my stomach, top of thighs, lady bits (where the hair line is...

), my bum and inbetween my legs with my son.

The slimmer I got afterwards, the less you could see them and now you cant see them at all....Im really hoping because my skin has already stretched, It can cope ths time!!! lol

I've got mine from years ago when i was heavily over weight. I've learned ways to cover them up but now i'm not really fussed anymore. If i get some with bub then i get some, i'll just add them to my collection! lol xxx

I used that cream religiously all over and I got stretch marks in my last two weeks of pregnancy. My Dr told me that NOTHING will prevent them. If you are going to get them, you will get them. All they do is lessen the "appearance" of stretch marks. Won't hurt anyways.

LOL my sister told me the same thing! Not to forget my bum and BBs!! Now I put it everywhere, it takes awhile but it will be worth it if I dont get any!! Thanks for the advice

also... does anyone use both bio oil and cocoa butter? right now im using them both but at different times, since it seems like they dont mix if you put them on at the same time. bio oil is always at night though, since it seems like it would ruin my clothes!

I'm terrified of getting them on my boobs - the only part of my body I've always been happy with - so I'm using body butter religiously all over. I lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time when I was younger and that left a few big ones on my tummy and thighs

and I don't want them to get any worse! I'm not sure either if any cream or amount of massage does work but at least I'll know I did everything I could to try prevent them
