Stretch Marks

Bummer...I will keep using it though because it makes me feel like I am on a beach and all lathered up and silky smooth!!

I should know better though, I already have stretch marks from Miss J. Guess I was trying to not get any more!! Or maybe they would reverse with this one! Haaa.

I love all the names on your poll. My grandfather was named Samuel, so I always wanted to name a little boy after him. But I never took into account that one day my last name would be Hill. What is the Sam Hill was I thinking! LOL

Keep up the lotioning regime. If nothing else, it smells good and keeps your skin soft!

Yeah. The butter won't do a thing. Aww well. Try 100% Shae Butter from Bath & Body Works. Also, Vitamin E tablets that are gel are great when you break the open and spread them on the marks you are getting and already have.

I'll put my two cents in for coconut oil...great stuff and smells yummy! :) Sorry I've been a bit of a stranger...

I swear by Palmers. I used it religiously every day and never got any stretch marks. My doctor said it was because I only gained 30 lbs, but I say that lotion had to help!!

I maintain that it's totally genetic/hereditary. Although I'm not sure how I got so blessed, because my mom DID have stretchmarks... just not very many... but I have never had any. I still have that dang brown line down my belly though... I can't remember how long that takes to go away.

Oh, the joy of stretch marks! I got them with Brody and it STILL bothers me so bad, but it's worth it.
To be honest, NOTHING will stop you from getting them. It's genetic so the only thing you can do is have comsemtic proccedures done afterwards but who has the money for that!

Try wiseways belly balm. you can buy it at whole foods and on amazon. i have been using it the entire time and no stretch marks -- and i'm at 36 weeks. good luck!

my stretch marks the second time around are so bad. :) I don't know if it is that parker was longer or if my old ones are just brighter...i don't know. I am not sure how to make them less noticeable.
