Hello,

maybe you should post your questions on the pregnant side of the board! You'll get more answers!!

I will use (when i will be pregnant) Bio Oil. I dont know if you can find it in the UK, I found it during a trip via South Africa. It is ok tu use when u are pregnant and works also for scars, dehydrated skin etc...

I am sure if you ask your chemist they will advise you.

Congratulations!

Hey!!

I used anything with shea butter or cocco butter in it- I used a brand made by Bath and Body Works here in the US- I know that it was all in the marketing- but it smelled nice and felt good. A friend of mine used nothing but baby oil and had great results. UNFORTUNATELY.... no matter what you use, you may still end up with stretch marks- but what the heck.. Look what you got for em!!!!!!!

Hi

I used cocoa butter in my first pg but still ended up with stretchmarks. Unfortunately I think nothing can be done to prevent it - you'll either get them or you wont.

But the stretch marks are SOOOOOOOO worth the end result!!!
