I swear by cocoa butter. I used with first 2 pregnancys and didn't even get 1 stretch mark, third time round I was given some french stuff by my mum which was apparently all the rage over there and well what do you know.....I got stretch marks in my 37th week, arrgh!!! ------------- Sara Corban (22/11/04) Connor (18/04/06) Chelsea (21/05/08)

I used bio oil and didn't get any either pregnancy. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy -------------

drink lots of water, keep your skin hydrated.
I didn't use Bio Oil as it made my skin itch. |

I think it depends on your skin as to weather you get them or not. I used both bio oil (by the bucket load - cost a small fortune) & cocoa butter BUT the dreaded things still appeared  ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |
