Stretch marks

[Jcbailey84]

I just hit the 9 week mark and my belly poped n now I have lots of stretch marks. This is my first pregnancy so im not sure what types of oils or lotions to use. Any tips to minimize them? I was told they never go away

Try the Bio-Oil. Your stretch will definetly fade away it will work but you have to use it as instructed. Its an oil that specializes in skincare such as: scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging skin, and dehydrated skin. Instructions say Apply twice daily for a minimum of 3 months. During pregnancy apply twice daily from the first trimester until birth. I bought it and only used it for 3 weeks and it did work, im just not a routine girl i forget at times.

they don't go away.... but are you sure they are stretch marks and aren't previously acquired stretch marks? usually they don't show until you are bigger. i am EXTREMELY PRONE to stretch marks (covered) and I started to get a new batch (yay -- not!) around 20 weeks. it is much worse now at 37 weeks! just oil and oil and oil your belly as much as you can -- unfortunately there is no sure remedy. if there was, i'd be aaaallllll over it! :p

I had stretch marks before I got pregnant and I tried everything before to get them to fade and be unnoticeable and it took forever to do that. Now that I'm 29 weeks they are starting to show and I'm getting more I just gave up and said "screw it". Cocca butter is the best thing to get. You can also get special cream for stretch marks, but it never worked for me so I wouldn't recommend it.

Just avoid any lotion with alcohol in it if you can, if you're itchy, it can burn!

I have the palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks and have been using it since day 1.  it hasn't helped with anything but the itchiness.  That is gone but the stretch marks are all there.   Nothing I can do about them.  just no photos will be taken of my belly.

Im def hoping to get rid of itch. Im just not sure what works best. Ill def try the coco butter today

Yea, sadly stretch marks are in your genetics :-(.  Lotions and oils will make them less itchy, but won't prevent them.  They fade though after pregnancy :-)  think of them as earning your motherhood stripes.;-)

I would recommend Palmers Cocoa Butter they make lotion specifically for Stretch Marks. Thats what ive been using but my belly still isnt showing ! Good luck love !
