ive found that drinking plenty of fluids has helped more than anything. i only use my body butter after a shower/bath (which is a boots almond and milk b/butter-fab stuff) and i put plenty on, and i even get my partner to massage it in as our son loves his dads touch, calms him down! luckily i have no stretch marks at all, yet (jinxing it now), so i think the extra fluids must be doing something!!

definatly palmers cocoa butter,i love the thickness of the cream its so warming and yummy. not to expensive either and you dont have to use it just on strech marks its great for the odd massage too!!!lol!!!
They will fade in time though, Ive got three huge ones on my tum each about 3inches across and now you can hardly see them.
dont let them get you down though babe, they are part of your mummy side. I've got one for each of my three children!!!!!!

stretch marks are gross i hate them.

was gonna say bio oil i have heard is good but lots of ladies seem to have told you already! dont worry though, even if you dont use anything they will fade to like silvery lines in time naturally, they wont always be pink/red & horrible!!
