OMG, stretchmarks already????!!!!!!!! Agh!!!

[timtam]

Just jumped in the shower (late one I know!) and noticed I've got stretchmarks (same colour as rest of skin) just above knicker line on my hips. Gutting - I thought you didn't get these until late 2nd Tri or 3rd Tri even? Anyone else out there found any or am I just weird and unlucky???
(Have a feeling my bum is going to be the size of a bus.....)

Use bio oil or cocoa butter

I have been using that palmer's cocoa butter since i found out after every shower.

x

start using some now lovely - better late than never. xx

ive been using bio oil since i was 3 weeks pg and i can see a vast reduction in my stretchers already, i bought it when pg last time but only put it on every so often, no i put it on twice a day religously and on my neck and face too as it seems to have really evened out my skin tone and you dont need loads of it. I love it can you tell

Time to get strict!
i applied Palmers coco butter twice a day EVERYDAY gained 4st and didn't get one! it seems like to much hassle when ur preggers and tired most of the time! im so glad i stuck it out.. im slacking this time a little but im still early with hardly any bump so i will pull my finger out soon.. and hope i don't get an this time

I have tons of stretch marks from having Aiden so can't tell if i have new ones i used Palmers coco butter but it didn't do a thing!! It just made me very itchy and get a rash late on in pregnancy, i said about it to my midwife and she said that if you're gunna get them you'll get them no matter what you use, some people are lucky i guess - like my friend who never used anything, put on 4 stone and never had even half a stretch mark! Lucky so and so!

Stretch marks are a pain and just seem to come from nowhere overnight! I already have a few new ones appearing on my thighs and hips where I've put on a bit of weight. I don't know if it's the quitting smoking or pregnancy hormones that's making me constantly hungry but I am probably eating too much at the moment! I'm sure there are plenty more stretch marks to come no matter how much I oil up my skin lol

I used so many products when I was pregnant with my son, and used them religiously but my arse, tummy and thighs still looked like a roadmap!! They do fade though.

This thread has reminded me I must start slapping it on though, just incase lol

I don't think using any products will keep them away especially if you are prone to them in all honesty hun.

I didn't get any until after Sophie was born although I was prone to them already with losing/ gaining weight.

But a way to look it is you're getting them in order for your body to grow your little bean inside of you!
