Is This Nomal ???
Posted: 11-14-06 16:18pm

Ok I just got a few stretch marks like a week ago and now my belly is itchy and it kinda hurts where the stretch marks are. I have been putting cocoa butter on my belly but it doesnt seem to help Confused

Yeah, when your skin stretches it can itch. I've gotten a couple of stretch marks in the last few days and they're kinda sore to touch right now.. I think it's just because they're still "fresh". If your skin isn't elastic enough no amount of cocoa butter or moisturiser will prevent them appearing.. But they'll fade soon enough! Smile

yep, you'll be in for more because you'll just keep growing from here on out.

The cocoa butter and lotion will help eat that itchy sensation and moisturize your skin to help the stretching. Stretch marks are genetic though - so if you mom, sisters, grandmother, aunts have them, you'll get them too.

My belly looks like a road map Sad

they do fade over time though.

excuse me but i'll have to disagree with all of you ladies!!!!! When I was pregnant I used pure vitamine e cream...Not cream that has vit e in it but pure vitamine e cream. It worked sooooooooooo much for me, I loved it! Get that and put it on 2-4 times daily, I am sorry I didnt read your comment sooner otherwise I feel like I could have helped prevent u from getting stretch marks. I rubbed it all over my body because u just dont know where you'll get stretch marks but mainly your belly and breasts ok? Good luck and congrats!
