I'm not sure if there was already such thread, but anyway.

What do you gals use to prevent stretch marks ? when did you start using it?
Anyone when through whole pregnancy without any stretch marks at all?
If you have stretch marks, when did they start appearing and where?

Ok that's a lot of questions, I know!! I'm now 26 weeks + 4 and I'm getting more and more worried about getting stretch marks. I have none at the moment and I've been using vaseline cocoa butter cream everyday all over my stomach and breast since I'm 8 weeks pregnant.

i was gonna say the same thing tezzy, when i was preggo with my first i used everything on the market for stretch marks from when i was 8 weeks till i had the baby but i still got them EVERYWHERE, i got them on my boobs, tummy, hips, bum, inner thighs and lower calfs, to be honest some people just have stretchier skin than others do it just depends on the person and also all these creams dont claim to stop them they claim to prevent them sometimes i think its just a money maker, but hey its worth a try.
this time round im using nothing i have so many from last time i couldnt get anymore if i tried and i havent got anymore and im having my baby on monday by c-section so i dont think any will pop up from now until then x x
