    Totally agree with the others - there is no magic cream. But wouldn't that be nice! I think if you're destined to get them then there is no way of preventing them.

    They say stretchmarks are genetic and if you suffered from them during puberty then you're more likely to get them during pregnancy. My sister, mum and I have never had a problem with stretchmarks but I do massage either Bio-Oil or a normal body moisturiser into my belly and hips just to ease the horrible feeling of stretching skin.

    No magic cream but I swear by the body shop's body butter... Used it with DD and got none, and I am prone to getting them And it smells yummy too!

    I have some of that palmers stretch mark lotion too, however i havent yet used it, as im always the one to jump straight out of the shower, and totally forget.

    When should i start using it? im 23 weeks and getting pretty round, i cant see any visible marks yet, but i guess its never too late to start applying now hey?

    I use Body Shops 'Body Focus - Stretch Mark Improver - unfortunately they no longer sell it in Australia...

    Point of this post - um, I can't think of one...(Although it is great stuff!)
