Stretch marks

[Lmhiggins]

Has anyone that has had a baby before or is currently pregnant used a stretch mark reducing cream? Do any creams actually reduce stretch marks? What creams have you used that work?

I only gained 10 pounds and I am coveted in them :( used both coco butter and bio oil twice a day (rotating one in the am one in the pm)  and nothing helped. I'm 7 months out and continued the ritual and it hasn't really helped but they aren't as red any more. They lighten through time :)

I've been using palmer's cocoa butter from the beginning of pregnancy. I just rub on a generous amount every night after I shower. I'm 8 months now and I don't have a single stretch mark. Both my mom and half-sister (related through mom) had terrible stretch marks. Hydration and good nutrition are important, too.

I used vitamin e cream and it seemed to help a little but stretch marks are hereditary so if your mom had litrle to no stretch marks you will have the same and vice versa

I used palmers cocoa butter my entire pregnancy, even before I started to show and I didn't get any stretch marks. I put it on my belly, lower back and upper thighs twice a day. They say stretch marks are hereditary, my sister and mom got them really bad but they also didn't manage their weight either which is also something I did. Congrats and good luck :-)
