hey, im 18 weeks pregnant and my friend who has 5 weeks to go (yey) she told me to get some bio oil coz she hasnt got any stretch marks, does any body else on here use it? and did it/is it working? because i know some people say if u are guna get stretch marks u will get them no matter how many oils and creams u use ......

I used it and I havent got a single stretchmark

they do say thats its more to do with genetics and if your mum had them then u r very likely to ( ?? ) who knows, but whether it helps or not, I love it

I looooove Bio Oil. I cover myself in Palmers stretch mark cream and then Bio Oil. Have got very few stretchmarks so far, the ones I've got have faded quite a bit already. I think getting some stretchmarks is unavoidable but at least you can help them fade etc with good creams...

I've used palmers stretch mark cream every morning out of the shower, and bio oil every night before bed, from above knees to above boobs, front and back, and I don't have any (yet!!!!!!!! touch wood!!!!!) so I'd recommend.

I've heard people say it's genetic, and my mum got loads with me but like I say - at the moment, I seem to be safe so I'm thinking they're a good investment!!

I used it all through my pregnancy and never got a single stretch mark. It lasts ages and I put it on morning and night.

It's on offer in Boots at the moment so a good time to get it is now!!!!!

but found it too rich for my skin. Its also quite expensive. I used Palmers Cocoa Butter (the fragrance free one cos the smell of the normal one made me queasy!), Vaseline Intensive Care and Avent Indulgent Body Cream, which smells yummy. I don't have any (new) stretch marks from my pregnancy. Aqueous cream is good too, I used that on my boobs when they got dry. Its cheap to about £2.50 for a big pot from Superdrug.

It does depend on your skin type and some girls are more prone to stretch marks than others but I found as long as you kepy my skin moisturised, it was fine.

i used baby oil when i was preg as my midwife told me all that matters is that the skin is moisturised, not so much what with. i didnt get a single stretch mark when i was preg!

midwife did also tell me though that if your mum got them, then chances are that you will too. i was lucky mum didnt have them either!
