With my first pregnancy I got stretch marks bad, but after I had her and my stomach went kinda back to normal I used bio oil and it cleared a lot of them up. But I used everything during pregnancy to prevent them. And it seems it can't be prevented if your skin is stretchable you won't get them if its not you'll get ten mine wasn't stretchable so I got a lot:/

Lucky! My mom had twins and didn't get a single stretch mark so I figured I was golden, then I realized it takes two to make babies so apparently my dads side of the fam isn't that lucky :/

I used palmers but didn't like the toxic, chemical smell. It also was doing nothing to fade my stretch marks. My stomach is covered and I am 24 weeks with my first. I have now been using raw, organic coconut oil and it's working blissfully. It stops the itching and is preventing them from getting worse. Over time I know they will fade - so I don't mind. I think of it as my babies first drawing.

Bio oil helps a ton and you can use it afterwards to help them fade i used to have a really bad scar from a motorcycle accident on my shoulder and both legs and the bio oil helped then fade more than mederma did, also tan after baby is born while using bio oil it helps big time, i don't have many stretch marks buy the ones i have were red and are now very light and almost match my skin my friends seem to think i don't have any because they are so light they can't see them until i point them , out

I was using coco butter at the beginning of my pregnancy but then I started to get an allergic reaction from it. Then bought bio oil and didn't start using it faithfully till probably a month ago Lol so its probably my fault or I'm just not one of the lucky ones or probably both Lol :( thanks anyways ladies!!

I used coco butter, palmers stretch mark cream and palmers oil, my husband literally lubes me up twice a day and I still got them. The first 3 months my boobs tripled in size and they are all over my boobs but I have none on my belly and a few weeks ago I sprouted a few on my thighs

My boobs tripled in size in first 3months, was using bio oil n they stretched, been using cocoa butter since and no more stretch marks yet but the original ones I got have faded quite dramatically. I use twice a day. Seems to be doing the trick.

Im 26w and I have used Palmer's Tummy Butter since I found out that I was pregnant. Use it on my belly,sides,thighs,butt,and back.Oh and breast. No stretch marks yet, no itchy skin...nada. They also have a stretch mark product (which I believe someone else mentioned) that I have heard works well when applied multiple times a day. Lotion and tanning worked for a few girls I know.
