So stretch marks...

I've never gotten stretch marks before. And I noticed my first ones today... on the bottom of my boobs. I absolutely hate them and how they make me feel. I was looking into getting bio oil for these and to prevent more since I feel certain now I'm going to get them on my tummy. Anybody else tried it or have another remedy?

I use coconut oil on my tummy, sides, and breasts...I also put powder in my bra which helps with itching aswell. So far so good buy I'm only 20 weeks tomorrow so it might be too soon to tell if I'll be getting them lol

I got the Honest Company Belly Balm and have been putting it on my belly, sides, lower back, and breasts since week 6 when we found out. I haven't been the slightest bit itchy and no marks at all. Fingers crossed that it stays this way!

I used bio oil, Palmers coco butter and mama Mia stretch mark cream unfortunantly nothing worked.

I think any oil or lotion that makes your skin more supple is good. I switch between weleda rose body cream, weleda pregnancy oil and if my skin feels really tight or dry (and don't have to wear good clothes) i use weleda skin food. The skin food feels really really good for a long time (even after my shower the next day my skin felt better!)

So far no stretch marks on my belly from pregnancy, but i have stretch marks all over my upper legs and hips, and a few on my breasts ever since i was a teen. If it makes you feel better: they do fade, they become more like fine white lines (like a light scarring). Personally it doesn't bother me, my husband doesn't mind at all either.

Well it was on sale at my local store, so I'm trying it. I've used coconut oil in the past and it's a lot less oily feeling than that so that's good to me lol. Fingers crossed it helps these fade and keeps away new ones!

I use bio oil, as you would expect it's pretty oily and leaves you feeling a bit like you've rolled I'm a giant frying pan but so far no stretch marks. Fingers crossed.

I have the same under my breast but none on my belly… and don't think I'll get them because I never scratch my belly no matter how much it itches… but for my breasts I did scratch a lot
