Stretch Marks!!

[MommytobeSeptember13]

I'm a ftm and I'm 23 weeks and 2 days I used to use palmers coco butter for my stretch marks but still got a few small ones here and there so I switched to bio oil but I still get them Idk what else to do. I apply it two times a day and I haven't seen much progress. I don't want stretch marks but I know it's gonna happen and there not big or dark but I keep noticing new ones every other day or so! Can anyone help me out in something else I can try?!

Amazon.com sells organic cocoa & organic shea butter. I melted both In microwave, and mixed them together. Now it's my Stretch mark butter!!! Love it. 21 weeks and not even 1 stretch mark!

You can Shea Butter anywhere really. Walmart has it

[MommytobeSeptember13]

Where would I get Shea butter?

[xiomyreyes]

It's not genetic let me clear that out bc if that was the case I wouldn't have not even one bc my doesn't  not have even one and she gave birth to 4 kids but. Drink lots of  water, Shea butter ,coconut oil.

The best price organic coconut oil is at costco!  Its also very good! I've been using it my whole pregnancy,  didn't get one stretch mark!

Thank you ladies so very much. Every suggestion and comment is very helpful as I'm completely clueless and learning as I go. (:

I've been using "a peel to me" body scrub by perfectly posh. I like the way it smells and it's supposedly all natural. I use it on my face every once in a while also.

There's nothing you can do hun. They are based on genetics. If your mom got them chances are you'll get them. How bad is determined on hydration, weight gain, and moisture.

I am on my 3rd baby.  Each pregnancy I made sure to drink a lot of water and rubbed extra virgin olive oil on my stomach twice a day.  Not one stretch mark.  Hope this helps.

I got coconut oil in the baking section at walmart.

My mom has HORRIBLE stretch marks. I mean horrible! I'm 37 weeks and only have a few on one side. I've used coconut oil as needed my entire pregnancy. Stay hydrated, keep your skin hydrate, and do not scratch! Scratching breaks down the skin and helps the stretch marks come through.

My ob said it's all genetic. If you're going to get them, you're going to get them. You can try everything until you're blue in the face but it's going to happen anyway. I feel your pain though. I'm a ftm too and I only had a few here and there and now they're spreading Ile wild fire and I'm only 15w4d!!!!

Jens4 what kinda scrub do you use?

[MommytobeSeptember13]

Thank you ladies so much! (: also I forgot to add were I would get the organic coconut oil or the vitamin E?

[Katiems1994]

Vitamins  E works the best to get rid of stretch marks fade  them

I use organic coconut oil also and use a scrub once or twice a week. I reapply the oil a few times during the day and if I'm not at home I'll just apply a moisturizer that can be easily carried with me. This is my fourth pregnancy and so far I haven't had any stretch marks. I'm 28 weeks

What I did (and am doing).. Try organic coconut Oil one day and some moisturising lotion next day and so on.. Dont forget about mild exfoliating with sea salt + lavender (or any other) oil once in two weeks. And of course - try to avoid gaining weight TOO quicky ( also losing weight too quickly ). And drink water at least 1,5-2 litres per day. Have a nice pregnancy time!:))
