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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

ive heard that bio oil is quite good too.
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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">
