Getting rid of stretch marks?

I have about 5 weeks left of pregnancy and i notced i have like 4 stretch marks on my lower stomache. I started rubbing olive oil on them yesterday, i was just wondering hownlong itll take to fade, and if im wasting my time with olive oil. I prefer hone remedies, i have coconut oil, baby oil, olive oil, and i also have vitimine e drops, that you put in a drink and consume, but i could probably mix it with sone kid of oil for the stretch marks.....would that be a good idea?

    They never truly go away 100%. They lighten with time. Using something like coconut oil or olive oil may help as well as staying hydrated. The statistics show that 95% of women have them. The last 5 weeks are usually when they pop up if they haven't already.

    Sure, any of those are fine..

    .if you had already been using them.

    If you can see stretch marks, then it's already too late. The oils could help minimize them, even the E can help...from the current ones getting much bigger.

    Let this be a lesson in that most health problems are PREVENTABLE and few are reversible.

    It won't make much difference. Sorry.
