i have 2 babies that are 11 months apart and both were born c-section. i can't have anymore babies so i just now started working on my figure. i have been going to the gym everyday and have lost some weight. well, when i was pregnant i got REALLY BAD stretch marks on my stomach and the c-sections scar is VERY OBVIOUS. i'm also worried that i will not only have scars and bad stretch marks but that i will have a loose skin also. besides cocoa butter, does anyone have any suggestions? any advice is appreciated!

Shea butter is excellent on stretch marks. I used it after using cocoa butter and not getting the results I needed/wanted (shea butter penetrates better than cocoa butter). In only 6months the appearance of my stretch marks was dramatically reduced. They are now barely visble after a year. You will be very impressed. Find a good grade of shea butter. That and time will heal your marks.
Ask your doctor about good abdominal exercise you can perform to tighten your tummy. I still have loose skin as well but it isn't as apparent now that I've lost weight and do my walking exercises.

Vitamin E oil is very helpful with the stretch marks. As far as the loose skin, time is really the only cure - unless you're willing to do surgery:(
Sorry, sweetie - I know how you feel!
