Congratulations ;D

My sis-in-law used olive oil, she rubbed it in every night when she went to bed. She's been pregnant three times and not a stretch mark in sight ;D

Mind you she COULD have been one of the lucky few who don't get them anyway :-/

Any moisturiser will help............don't use expensive stuff..............and it's all in the genes ::)

You've either got stretchy skin or you ain't ::)

I've heard that vitamin E cream can help prevent stretch marks. Boots sell it and it's not too expensive.

I think if you've got skin that's prone to them then there's nothing at all you can do to prevent them but there's no harm in pampering yourself and massaging your baby inside your tum.

I got some lovely stuff from Boots, when I was pregnant, called 'Mediterranean honey olive neroli massage body butter'.( ) It was about £5.00 and smells lovely. I massaged it on my tum, bum and boobs and didn't get any stretch marks but then maybe the cream was nothing to do with it!.(and don't forget to use your advantage card)

No, just use a bit of extra moisturiser, it'll be fine ;D

i used baby oil in the bath too, on my mums recommendation, (but not when washing hair!!!!) makes skin lovely and soft, and i've no stretch marks after three.

System

Wheatgerm oil is a natural source of vitamin e and is brilliant on scars. I just wish i knew of it when i was pregnant. :-[
