    I've just been using a sorbolene with Vitamin E cream after every shower but then again this is a habit I've always had, not just since I got pregnant. I think it has helped. I also think drinking lots of water is good too.

    I don't have any stretchmarks over my belly. I've just got 3 small ones on the bottom half of my boobs and thats it.

    So far, I've put on 9kg.

    If you are prone to getting stretch marks then you are going to get them regardless of what wizz-bang treatment you put on your skin to prevent them. Although it doesn't hurt to keep your skin moisturised anyway as when your tummy gets bigger it can get really dry and itchy. With my first pg I didn't get them till 35wks, and they have gotten worse each time lol.

    I agree with Trillian, if your going to get them, you will, but moisturising is still a good thing to do. I got all mine when i was pregnant with my first, im now pregnant with my 5th and havent got any new one's I've only put on 5 kg's though, so that has probably helped.

    Hi,
    I definately Plamers Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter for stretch marks... you get it from the chemist in little tubs. It may not help if you're prone to them (although I didn't get any and I used it the whole way through) but it's thick and luxurious and smells totally divine!!
