Use natural Shea butter and cocoa butter as well . You should've started moisturizing way before you started showing .. I'm PRAYING that this doesn't happen to me

I wouldn't put my clothes on right after I would give it 20-30 mintues to soak in.   Or get dressed and just lift up ur shirt till it has time to soak in.

I know the feeling on being upset.  I am 24 weeks tomorrow with twins and an getting stretch marks and it's depressing.   Right now I am using palmers cocoa butter lotion, but as soon as I can I am going I get bio oil.  My sis used it when she was pregnant and I can't even tell she was ever pregnant.  And my sister is a very petite gal.  She is like 5'9" and was 120 if that when she got pregnant.  My sis swears by bio oil.  So I hope that it will help you.   Best of luck.

i m lucky that i dont have many stretch marks on my tummy just near pelvis.. i have been avoiding scratching as much as i can however i did made mistakes with my boobs and scratched the hell out of them and now they just look awful.. with tummy when i feel like scratching i just rub on it instead of using my nails.. i havnt used any cream or anything only when i go for appointment i use mums & cussions lol just to make it shiny and smell good :)

Pepstar no you dont sound vain at all. The thing is we all love our babies an we also know our body will change. Bt like I see it I will get stretch marks bt if I can prevent them getting worse or reduce them then hell yeaaahh.. I heard with the purple ones faid to more grey colour drinking water also helps I heard bt babe use bio oil only one I read an heard abt which helps..how far are you btw??

I know how you feel.  Pre pregnancy I only had 2 stretch marks now I have like 100.  I tried for a long time to use anything I thought would work.. and nothing helped.  I guess I just accepted that they were there and that I earned them.  It's not like we got all of these from eating like pigs, we got them from giving life to an innocent baby.  I know this might not answer your question.. as I don't know the answer myself, just thought I would tell you that you aren't alone and try to make you feel even a tiny bit better.

I have some big ones from my first daughter, and I'm covered in small ones. I deal with it by not being shallow.

I started using bio oil before I started showing, on my tummy and I have none. But I never thought to use it on my bum and I have LOAD! I'm lucky my undies cover them. Just keep using it it will help fade them.
