I haven't had stretch marks yet.
I've been using body butter and if you can afford go to beauticontrol and buy dermal lotion.
Use is for a little over 60-90 days and the really helps makes the stretch marks go away.
Before getting pregnant I got scabbies and the bugs gave me scars covering all over my legs and arms.
I used dermal lotion and the scars are completly gone. I recommend it.
So does my mom who works for beauticontrol. Hope this helps some

Well out of all the places to get stretch marks I get some on my chest.
So weird how I wouldn't get them on my belly but on my chest.
Thankfully I'm gonna be getting some more dermal lotion cause I have old scars from when I was little.
I grew up to fast and I didn't have enough baby fat to stop my skin from strecthing.
I cant wait for my son to be born so I can get into shape, so weird being out of shape lol

I only get embarassed by my stretch marks when the hubby is feeling amourous. They make me feel SO unsexy. sweatdrop The rest of the time I dont' really notice them or care about them. They're on the bottom of my belly (where I can't see anymore!) so most of the time I forget they're there. I have been using cocoa butter from The Body Shop on them, that seems to be helping.

laiquendai I got stretch marks at puberty (when I was 12), so they've never really bothered me, having always had them. Likewise.

Maverick54 Think of them as your "badge of honor" They will fade with time but never completely go away.Coco Butter is supposed to help if you apply it at the beginning of the pregnancy. I used coco butter daily but still got 'em, not until about a month ago though. I got mine on my sides, by my hips, where I'd had them when I gained weight in culinary school. They're really weird... the start exactly where my old ones end. But hopefully, like my school stretch marks, hopefully they'll fade quite a bit in a year.

My strech marks run verticly up my tummy... all the way up past my belly button, but they kind of curve around it, they are red and pink-it kind of looks like a fire tatoo... It was only a month ago that I had Cas, so I'm not sure how much they fade... but my tummy is almost back down to flat, so I don't care if they stay forever LOL.
Lets just not talk about the ones on my hips and butt.... They are bad >.<
I used Coco butter every day on all the areas, I covered from my shoulders down to my knees, and it didn't seem to affect them... So I'm not sure if the creams work or not... I say to stay hydrated so your skin dosen't dry out. 3nodding

whee -Sing songs- That would be because GENETICS pertaining to skin elasticity, not creams, affect stretch marks and to what extent you'll get them and how they fade. As has been said several times already.

laiquendai I got stretch marks at puberty (when I was 12), so they've never really bothered me, having always had them. Same here. I got massive ones on my breasts because I hit puberty very suddenly (I went from hairless and breastless to a C cup with my underwear full of hair in about two months). They are still very visible on my breasts, even from fairly far away. And you know what? That's ok. My husband has a lot on his back from growing so tall very fast. It's kinda like we're that annoying couple that wears matching shirts, except only when we're naked wink

I haven't gotten a single stretch mark on my belly or boobs, but they're getting to be pretty prominent on my butt-reddish scratch marks that feel kinda like bruises when I poke at 'em. My husband actually thinks they're "cute" so it really doesn't bother me. I just wash my body with moisturizing body wash and soaps, and rub lotion on my belly twice a day. I think it helps somewhat if you start doing that before you even get the marks, but like Dirge said, they're genetic. Probably not totally unpreventable, though. My poor little sister, though, has them just about everywhere, because as soon as she hit puberty, she was "blessed" with large breasts-but she also gained weight pretty rapidly. And by "blessed" with the boobs; all of the women on both sides of our families have small breasts. Her dad's side, however, has the busty gene. blaugh
