Question about stretch marks?

I was 5'8 and 112...I started using Clarins tonic oil and the moisture rich body lotion in the middle of my first trimester. So far so good and I'm 35 weeks now. I also drink huge amounts of water daily...just plain water...it helps keep your skin in good shape. Your age could help your skin bounce back but I wouldn't count on that alone. Unfortunately I believe genetics plays the largest part in this...if your mom has stretch marks do all you can...but you may still get them. Good luck!

Get rid of Stretch Marks?

Hi Marlo, I'm not sure of you have tried the product Bio-oil as you don't say, but it really helped me. I have very large hips and I'm a larger girl so I have quite large breasts. I had large purple-pink stretch marks all over my hips and coming down towards my thighs, and on my breasts. I used Bio-oil when I first started noticing these marks as they really bothered me. In a few months they had all faded to a pale silver or were completely gone. I don't use Bio-oil anymore, as I have no more stretch marks, but as soon as I notice anymore I'll use it again. I love Bio-oil and plus, it smells really delicious, a bit like cinnamon buns :) I realize that there has been several bad reviews of the product, but it worked for me and my cousin. We both had really bad marks, now we don't. Try Bio-oil. I hope this product helps you as it helped me :) Good luck xo

i was 21 when my first was born. i am also 5'3 and weighed 8stone..... not sure how many pounds that is. i put oil on all the time, at around 36wks my tummy got real itchy, and they started appearing all over. my tummy is now covered in stretch marks, nothing stopped them and nothing has made them go away. i hate my tummy to say the least!!! so you may never be able to wear a bikini again... but that baby will be so worth it

after birth use something like Bio-oil , Many use it to reduce stretch marks and other scarring

Stop worrying it is bad for your health - it will be fine
