stretch mark creams dont work >:-(

So I been using bio oil & cocoa butter my whole pregnancy I am now 37 weeks and I just started getting stretch marks on my hips and front of my belly I'm really upset about it I didn't think I would get any I'm afraid I'm going have an overhang flap of ruined skin after my c section ; (

Nothing works to prevent streach marks. Mostly everyone gets them because your stomach is stretching. Its nothing to feel gross about though. It just mark for every movement your little blessing has made. You can only get certain lotions that make them lighten up but they will never fully go away.

Oh the scarfices we make for are little ones. I've gone through this before your right no creams or oils r going to work if your going to get them u will if your not you won't, the women that use lotion and don't get them weren't going to get them anyways. In time they will fade. I have stretch marks but no csection and my belly has a little bit of weirdness but as long as I stay thin its not to bad. So keep using the lotion for itching and after for help fading. You got a precious baby from it so its worth it.

I found no strechmark creams work for me at all, I switched to mango body butter from the body shop and the difference over night was crazy. Maybe give that a go :)
