    I use the body shop's coco butter from early on right through and at the end of the day it didn't help... I stil ended up with strech marks.... Maybe I didn't get as many as I would have if I hadn't use anything but I don't really think it actually stops anything. A lot of my friends would say the same. I used Bio Oil afterwards as it is meant to reduce the appearence of the marks already there, I must admit I didn't use it long enough to do anything, but I do hear it has been great for a lot of people.
    GL with it all, I do hope you're one of the lucky ones that have no marks at the end of it all!

    I absolutely swear by Palmer's Cocoa Butter products. Their Tummy Butter is the shiz while you're pregnant - it's a solid but melts into your skin and you smell like lavendar and chocolate - gorgeous!! It soaks in really well too. Their other creams and moisturisers are awesome as well - I use Tummy Butter and Stretch Mark Cream while pregnant, then Stretch Mark Cream and Skin Firming Lotion after baby, and their all-over moisturiser and SPF lip-balm every day. They've just brought out a new body butter too, which I'll have to have a go at - if their other products are any indicator, this new one will be fantastic too

    I'm using Palmers Stretch Mark lotion and it's divine!! I've started early to try and minimise the stretch marks.
    But I might try that Tummy Butter too if Glamourcide says it's so nice!!

    If you can afford it a product called Triastlin ( i think thats what its called) is meant to be REALLY good. My SIL used it and it worked really well on her she saw a dramatic difference after 2 weeks! But its about $115 or something and can only be bought online and takes about a week to get to your place.

    I used the Palmers stretch mark cream every couple of days and didn't get any, could be just plain good luck though!!

    Trust me, the Tummy Butter during pregnancy kicks the cr@p out of the regular stretch mark cream!! It's amazing stuff

    Ive been using Plain old Baby Oil and it has worked a treat for me so far! I use it every morning and everynight. I am nearly 33 weeks and not a single sign of a strechie

    I was using all the above while preganant, bio oil, palmers, baby oil etc, then decided wanted something that didnt contain mineral oil (is absorbed by the body in the quite high quantities) and changed to plain old macadamia oil, wasnt that expensive and smells quite nice (kinnda nutty!) worked fanatastically before and after and made my skin baby smooth too.
