stretch marks

[tracey 2]

hi all, hope your all well,

How early can you get stretch marks, iv got some red/slivery lines round the bottom of my stomach, my mate says they are but surely you dont get them this early do you

Iv heard there is some cream or something i can use, if they are but do they work, its not bad at mo, but feel really self conscious.

I know i shouldnt really moan and its one of those things of pregnancy just wanted to see if anyone could give me any further help or info on them

Hi Tracey

I used Bio oil for both my girls and have started using it again. It worked for the stretch marks as i have the very minimum, The obvious thing i suffer with after having 2 is a bit of a wrinkly tummy Dread to think what my tummy will look like after this 3rd. My hubby will have to save for a tummy tuck

I tried all the lotions and potions for stretch marks but still got them some people are lucky and dont but i did and now they have faded to be silvery in colour just below my belly button

 

[lisa&alex]

would suggest bio oil.. dunno whats in it but it does help..do it every time u have a shower or bath when ur skin is still wet and try a oily cream every night, if u r getting them then chances are u will have them unfortunatly its genetic. xx

i used palmers cocoa butter (the one for pregnancy) and only have a few, hoping i dont get many more this time

I had stretch mark very early in pregnancy the same as you started off with silver ones and now i have red ones half way up my belly .

Ive tried many creams and they have been rubbish someone told me a couple of weeks ago to put baby oil on them but i think its too late for me now as im so far in pregnancy and they have aready started going red .

i agree its just genetic some get them and some dont, unlucky for me I'm expecting to get lots, but i will use bio oil as it helps them fade back to silver colour quickly..

this was my belly last pregnancy

i use bio oil too it is fantastic and i havent got any stretch marks on my belly,u can put it in ur bath or rub it over u n it lastd for ages as u dont need alot!

 

[paradysso]

yeah i tend to bath in it, as i found it made my bump soooo itchy towards the end of pregnancy

I used cocoa butter and got zillions of stretchmarks from my boobs to my calves!!! Ah well, my baby boy's worth every line.

I think if you're going to get them you're going to get them unfortunately

 

[clairescunny55]

just thought i'd say bio oil in wilkos is about 7.99 butt they do a cheaper version for 2.99, seems exactly the same stuff to me

I got covered in them and I'm sure baby number 3 will bring more

I have always used johnsons baby oil , every night from finding out I was pregnant, put it on damp skin after my bath and fortunately never got not 1 tinsy winsy mark at all and I have 3 kids, watch this time be completely different

I am also using baby oil. I use it every day on damp skin after a shower and so far so good not a sign of a stretch mark
and I have grown quite a bit. Fingers crossed that it stays that way,
but I guess that if you are going to get them there is not a lot you can do.
