Have you been using any special creams or cocoa butter?

I've been so lucky. I'm 38 1/2 weeks and I have like 2 right under the bottom of my tummy that are about ____ that long. But a lot of people say you get them after giving birth. :cry:

Most of mine (i had none until I was stretched during the c-section) faded so much I never saw them again..... But this time i'm bigger, and cocoa butter isn't cutting it!! You should still use it religiously, and then afterwards, they have that "maderma" scar stuff that works well on them. I'll need alot of it, unfortunately.

Good luck.

I thought I had it made when I was pregnant. I went to 42 weeks. I had no stretch marks the day I delivered, but once your belly shrinks, for some reason they show up. On my hips and inner thighs....Oooh my...No bikini this summer. My baby is 9 weeks old.

He was very large too...9 lbs, 10 oz.
