stretchmarks!!!

Who got stretch marks despite using cocoa butter/vit e oil and everything you can find?!! Its quite depressing, any advice on how to lessen the appearance after birth?

I didn't even get one I'm 37 weeks 2 days I get induced Monday night :) all I used was the cocoa butter stretch mark cream..

I never used too much with my first Bc i read there is no use. If i could go back I would have tried the bio oil, I have never meant someone who used it and got stretch marks. After the baby I got a microneedler, or derma roller as they are sometimes called. I think it helped a lot. I also used baking soda in the shower to exfoliate my belly.

I agree with jjolfert ...
stretch marks r mostly genetic! I used lots if lotion and stretch marks cream and still I got them.

now I'm just gonna wait until a few months post delivery to figure out how to get rid of them.
maybe with scar creams, maybe with massages, maybe with laser ... I have no clue yet.

I wouldn't recommend baking in the Sun for anyone. I use coconut oil and other random stretch mark creams in the off chance that they will actually work but the stretch marks are coming anyways. I do believe they are genetic, but fade after birth either way

It's just how your skin is..  I have done but thank god they are not that bad..

The best thing For stretch marks from my experience is sun. They will never go away, but they will not be red forever and just turn into your skin color and look like shiny scar lines. I got them all over from my first pregnancy and it took me a long time to get used to it. Good news is it looks like with my 2nd pregnancy so far extra stretch marks

Anyone who sells you something saying it will prevent stretch marks is lying. They happen because of genetics. They do fade with time to a faint silver. You can barely see them. I'm almost 11 months post baby and mine have faded to light pink.
