Hello all,
Its been a while since I posted here 
Could you ladies recomend a strech mark cream that actually works and can prevent them while the belly is expanding due to the pregnancy?
Id really appreciate your suggestions, I am in desperate need here
Thanks! Aga |

| I've been using the Palmers cocoa butter massage lotion faithfully everyday since about 6 months pregnant. I am now 40 weeks, 9 days and I don't see a stretchmark in site and I've gained a whopping 45 pounds! Don't know if its the lotion or I just have resiliant skin...I've heard if you are going to get them, nothing will prevent them from appearing, but I used it just to keep the itchies at bay...good luck with your pregnancy! |

Congratulations, Aga!!!
I gained 50lbs plus, didn't use a thing and didn't get one stretch mark. My sis slathered herself in Palmers and got them. I think it's genetic and nothing much can prevent them if you are prone. |

Just wanted to add another option. I've seen some pretty decent fading with a pure vitamin E cream that I found at a pharmacy. I apply every night before bed. |

| I think Bio-Oil is another one that gets recommended as well. |
