stretchmarks

rubixcyoob. · Dec 21st, 2009, 20:14 PM

So I'm going shopping tomorrow and was just wondering what everyone who has stretch marks uses in order to, not prevent them as such, but reduce them? I'm starting to get some on my boobs so I just want to try and reduce them as much as I can so I'm not all scarred after the LO gets here.

Thanks xx

well i got Bio-Oil, supposed to do the trick, but for me it hasnt, i have them on my belly, and quite alot too, i used it day and night and even put it in my baths, but it hasnt helped me, its all to do with your skins elasticity, if your skin is very elastic you wont get stretch marks but if it isnt (like mine) you most probably will get them, they say it really works and helps alot, but to be honest i found it hasnt worked at all and its all to do with the type of skin you have! but give it a go anyway as everyones different!

i was using bio oil and didnt get a single stretch mark (maybe cuz that was earlier pregnancy)! its quite expensive tho.. so i switched to the much cheaper option - cocoa butter - but doesnt seem to work at all and now im riddled with them

hope they dont come much more in a week!! but cocoa butter smells nice

lol x

Hehe, I have heard that analogy before. A kid once said to me that the baby was drawing on mum's belly and saying hello.
