I did nothing special either time, just used a general moisteriser a couple of times a week... I don't have any stretch marks on my tummy, but I do on my thighs! Kiya wanted special lines like Mummy when she was little and having a bath with me!]]> Wed, 15 Mar 2006 13:45:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=33345&title=stretch-marks#33345 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=33343&title=stretch-marks#33343 Author: meow

I got my cocoa butter from Farmers I think, can't remember the brand. I used it religiously every day! I had no stretch marks until after Ella was born, then I noticed them! They have just about faded now though, I think I used cocoa butter after she was born for a little while too.]]> Wed, 15 Mar 2006 13:38:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=33343&title=stretch-marks#33343 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=33337&title=stretch-marks#33337 Author: Roksana

I used Cocoa butter cream and it did nothing for me. I have stretch marks below and above my belly.....my mum had two kids and has no stretch marks....I am abviously not like my mum!!!!


But I am getting use to them....like jax said...I am proud of my "mummy badge"

Deez...I had no stretch marks up until 28 weeks and then one morning "BANG"..I had loads....I hope you dont get them tho....

I have been using wheatgerm oil and vitamin e creme. I use the creme every day but only rub the wheatgerm oil on every second day. I also have a friend who swears by Bio Oil.

I have a scar about 10cm long from having my appendix out years ago, and i thought i would defintly get strech marks around that area but so far i have been lucky and i haven't got any - touch wood.

I already have stretch marks from when I was fat and then lost a bunch of weight LOL So I'm honestly not too worried ! I definitely reckon the best way to look at it is to see them as a "mummy badge" ]]> Sat, 11 Mar 2006 15:26:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=32600&title=stretch-marks#32600 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=32597&title=stretch-marks#32597 Author: 98765

i used a cream (cant remember which one) then switched to a cheaper brand and i did end up getting them at about 36 weeks. they didnt get much worse in the second pregnancy.... and i too wear them with pride, they are my special mummy marks my oldest daughter loves them too!
its just unfortunate that other's do make people feel self conscious about them, with negative attitudes and nasty remarks... man my sister was really bad... she ended up getting them in her second pregnancy though!!!

I have heard that stretch marks are more to do with your muscle beneth the skin and that cream wont do anything. Ive also heard that its hereditary, having said that I do moisturise just in case thats wrong. :)]]> Fri, 10 Mar 2006 14:39:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=32394&title=stretch-marks#32394 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=32391&title=stretch-marks#32391 Author: preggy_sunflower

I used the Body Shop body butters, they smell nice and make your skin feel nice, but completely useless against stretchmarks.

Palmers and Bio-Oil advertise that they help prevent stretchmarks, but I have not heard rave reviews about their effectiveness.]]> Fri, 10 Mar 2006 12:34:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=32356&title=stretch-marks#32356 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1758&PID=32330&title=stretch-marks#32330 Author: nikkitheknitter
