Re: Stretch Marks

I have been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter, but they say if you are going to get them you will and that it is genetic, I use it more for the dryness/itching from my stretching belly

Re: Stretch Marks

I started using cocoa butter early on and felt that it worked. Then I hit 28 weeks and they started showing up like crazy. Now I try not to even look at my stomach because I am constantly noticing more and more marks Chat Icon

Re: Stretch Marks

I've got tons on the bottom of my belly that started showing up about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't diligent about putting cream on...it probably wouldn't have helped anyway. But now I have been using Burt's Bees "Mama Bee". It comes in a metal tin and is pretty thick, but it really helps with the dryness and itching.
