I'm using bio-oil, and have been puting it on boobs and tum since i pretty much found out i was pregnant, though i have to say i have still got stretch marks on my boobs.

I'd def start using something now though hun, as it'll keep the skin more supple so as it stretches it'll reduce the chance or severity of the dreaded stretchmarks. xx

i am using coco butter, i do have bio oil but i dont like the oily feeling. i am yet to get a stretch mark (touch wood) but your right they do say if your going to get them you will get them regardless. my friend is 4months pregnant and uses coco butter like me she has got terrible ones on her boobs already. just the luck of the draw really.

Bio Oil for me too last pregnancy and this one and didn't get any stretch marks and none this time so far...but this could just be the way of my skin...and I had a bit of a big belly anyway so my skin hasnt had to stretch much ;oD I did get them in my late teens tho so it's not like I'm immune to them and I used to be obsessed with using vitamin e body lotion....so go figure. The many mysteries of the female body.

I've got a cocoa butter based lotion I got from a friend. It smells like chocolate and is really quite gentle and lovely. Nothing yet, but I just really dropped last week, so time will tell.
Frankly, I'm more worried about them on my boobs. I'm not a busty girl, but I've had plenty of weight fluctuations over the years, and I haven't' had stretch marks since I was a teen.

That is a really positive way of looking at it. And really, there are much much worse scars out there to have for some really tragic reasons. Ours are because we have brought life into the world. Other people's scars aren't for such fortunate reasons.
