They fade on their own really, no miracle cures here... I figured if I was gonna have 6 kids that there would be no escaping them so I never bothered! But they definitely fade on their own account within a year or less.

Man only 3 on your belly count your lucky stars, I have lots of lil ones just not on the belly yet.

So I assume it is safe to use that sort of stuff during preggas,

Have found another site http://www.beautifulskin.co.nz/

I will have a look at the one you are talking about on tyra

I dont have any (very lucky i guess) i rubbed vitamin e cream from the very beginning dont know if that prevented them, but my friends that have them theirs faded after a year and i can barely see theirs

and btw im not bragging-i bet my next baby i'll be so covered in them people will think im a tiger!

My friend swears by using bio oil if you get them wait until after you have had your baby and then use it. She did and most of them had gone.
I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I have also heard that Bio Oil is very good.  I am already using it in preperation, lots of people swore black and blue it was a mirricle cure that their mother, sister etc etc used to reduce scars and streach marks, when they found out i was pregnant.  Figure its worth go but not overly cheep.  I used to use Emu Oil on my horses legs to reduce scaring and that worked really well (horse put two legs through a fence), after  couple of months you could hardly see the scars.  I also have some of that at home as my backup

Have just been to the chemist and the lady suggested Rosehip oil to reduce stretch marks

I am trying anything

I will let you know how it goes

It is not badly prices - I paid $21 for a small container and even though the container is small it is meant to go quite far - you can even mix it with other oils
