I think it could help reduce the stretchmarks by rubbing coco butter on it.


Theres also creams that are for stretchmarks reducing =]]

umm you're 13 and now this is your second pregnancy by a family member??? You already had a baby by one of them? You seriously have to be a joke.. You keep throwing around the "i'm pregnant by my brother or dad" thing a little too much as if you were proud. If all of this is true, you need some serious help.


As for the original poster.. There are a lot of things you could use for stretch marks, not just plain ole cocoa butter lotion. There's a lot of over the counter creams, but i'm not sure if all of them are safe while you are pregnant. I don't know so much about regular butter... I think that would be messy and pointless. But you would smell like toast! Lol. I'm just playing. =)

.Good luck and congrats!

I say do the coco butter thing. Or just search around online for other methods if that doesnt work, like google "get rid of stretchmarks" or something. Good luck with it though. :wink:

Umm I don't think there is really anything you can do for them. From experience I used palmer's coco butter all during my pregnancy and after I delivered. I also used this stuff forgot the name but it was $20 for a 4 oz bottle. It didn't work either.. All lotion can do is heal dry skin. I kind of diguise my strech marks with sun less tanning lotion. That is the only than that I have found that reduced the looks of them. I think the only way to completly get rid of them is a tummy tuck or laser treatment.
