Hey Peeps,

I started panicking when I started to get stretch marks at around 30 weeks. I cant actually see mine unless I use a mirror as they are on the underside of my tummy. aparently my mum had the same ones at the time and now she has nothing due to exerising them and ot losing the weight too fast.

Can I recommend Palmers Cocoa butter cream for the stretch marks though as its improved mine inn the meantime quite a bit!

thanx ladies for replying. I dont feel as bad now. I ve been using collegen ellastin 200% moisture cream so goodness knows how bad they would be if i never used it. Are you all excited then you all a bit closer than i am

i would reccomend teh palmers coco butter too im using it as i didnt have any stretch marks at all with my first but ive got loads just under my bump and 2 right above my belly button i find they are very itchy i dont know if its just me but the palmers stuff is great to sooth the itching

I started using the palmers stuff after my stretch marks appearred as a friend recommended it and I'd heard loads about it and its really cleared them up a lot because I havent got any bigger in last wee while.

Lets hope once LO makes an appearance it still keeps clearig then up!

lol
