Answer 1

You can't get rid of them while pregnant, but after the baby is born and if you're not nursing you can use Stri-Vectin. Or go get treatments from a dermatologist, but it's pricey and I hear it hurts.

The best thing you can do is use 100% shea butter (I get it from Bath & Body Works) and apply it once or twice a day. I'm petite and pregnant with # 3. I have no stretch marks, because the shea butter helps your skin and collagen stretch without getting stretch marks. At least if you use it now, the stretch marks won't get worse, or you might not get new ones. Don't worry about what others think, just stay healthy, eat well, and continue to exercise. Good for you for caring enough about the baby, especially to not get an abortion! You're so young to be pregnant, good luck.

Answer 2

Well, stretch marks for the most part are genetic. If your mother had then chances are you got that from her, sometimes it helps to use Coco butter, and lotion to put more collagen into your skin to make it more flexible, but most the most part all you can do is hope. I would try the Coco butter you just have to apply it very religiously, if you want it to work, it's really the best bet for fighting against your genetics.

Answer 3

well im 16 and 5 months pregnant and im getting stretch marks 2 but u cant get rid of them ur skin has 2 stretch for the baby 2 grow just keep ur belly moist with lotion or coco-butter good luck

Answer 4

Try to use Cocoa Butter lotion or other lotion. If they are really dark then good luck i am on my 2nd baby and i still got the stretch marks from my first baby and he is going on 4 years, but if you are active and stuff they should go away with lotion.

Answer 5

There are no ways to get rid of stretchmarks...I'm sure there are procedures like laser and such to do that but that is very expensive. All you can do is try to prevent them or try to lighten them by using lotions, cocoa butters and such on them daily. If you are meant to get them tho then you will get them. I have light stretchmarks on my upper thighs due to losing weight in high school. Just rub lotion and such on your belly, boobs and anywhere you want to try to prevent them.

Answer 6

Can't get rid of stretchmarks.They are just a part of your DNA, your skin elasticity. You may be able to lighten them by using cocoa butter or plenty of lotion.

Answer 7

sorry but there is nothing you can do about them. try using a lotions with coco butter in it. it won't take them away but it will help your skin be able to stretch a little better and be more hydrated.

Answer 8

i got them and there is nothing you can do! try the palmers cocco butter to help ease the itchiness that comes with pregnancy. try to keep eating right and excersising cause gaining too much weight will only make them worse!

Answer 9

drinking a lot of water ( about 10 glasses a day) helps with the elasticity in your skin but if its in you genes then it wont prevent it. tell them to shut the hell up
