Stretch Marks

I noticed what appears to be a small small stretch mark on the lower part of my belly this weekend. It isnt' that big, but what have you girls been doing to try to prevent more to show up??? I have been lotioning up each day but maybe I need to do more??? Thanks!!!

Re: Stretch Marks

They are supposedly hereditary, you'll either get them or you won't, not matter what you do, unfortunately . At least that's what I've been hearing. So just keep mositurized for your own comfort, but I think that's all you can do, unfortunately!

i've been using Palmer's Cocoa butter, but I have also heard they are hereditary and if you're gonna get them, there's really not much you can do about it.

Re: Stretch Marks

I was using a strech mark cream from like 12 weeks til it ran out and I couldn't find it. I then bought a 100% pure cocoa butter stick (Queen Helena--can't stand the smell of Palmers)which I use 2x a day on my belly. I also bought a Cocoa butter lotion that I use daily everywhere.

they are hereditary, unfortunately. I lotioned like crazy and got them when my stomach was going back to some-what normal.

Re: Stretch Marks

I don't think there is anything you can do to prevent them.

I used palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks my whole pregnancy. Didn't get any..so who knows.
