Stretch Marks.

I am almost 39 weeks pregnant with my first child, & I am covered in stretch marks. Does anyone know what I can do to stop them itching, & Me gaining more. I've tried bi oil, & Other creams but nothing seems to be working. My doctor just says it's apart  off pregnancy, & He says he can do anything about it. I would just love for them not to be so itchy, & Sore.

Stretch marks are more genetic than anything else. I use raw Shea butter or olive oil; anything with perfume has alcohol and makes my skin dry and itchy. As soon as I get out the shower (still doing wet) I apply the Shea or olive oil. If my tiny itches between showers I simply apply more oil. I'm 33wks and have two stretch marks

Use natural oils. I made my own mix of 100% pure shea butter 100% pure cocoa butter and 100% pure coconut oil and mixed some vitamin e oil in there.  It's working great for me so far
