i had 3 little marks up till 32 weeks then over night they attacked.
Sorry to break it to you but those ladders will be there forever BUT they fade!
I used cocoa butter and oils everyday religiously and my tummy is stretched to bits! Don't worry I know its upsetting but some skin types mark more than others.
4 years on and you can still see them but theyre the same colour as the rest of my tummy so dont worry enjoy your pregnancy - not long to go now ;)

Try vitamin E oil. I've got 3 kids and no stretch marks. They say coco butter is the best but a know alot of woman that has used it and got alot of stretch marks. Vitamin E is good for your skin and it helps scars that you may already have. It will make them fade over time.

Even though you already got your stretch marks, don't give up. Mineral oil is great for your skin too. I put it in my bath water and rub my tummy while relaxing in the tub. The warm water and the oil kept my skin nice and soft. Stretch marks come from the inside. You are going to get them. There is no way of preventing them. Some people get lucky and get a few. As long as you take good care of your skin they will fade a lot after having the baby. It takes time though. They are a sign of beauty of a mother. They will fade. Congratulations on your new coming baby.

The most effective way to handle this problem is to follow a proper care routine that prevents their occurrence. Massaging on the stretch marks serves as an excellent home remedy for stretch marks removal. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage.

sadly there is nothing that will 100 percent prevent stretchmarks. And i love how they literally do show up overnight. The coco butter will help reduce the redness in them, but if you are prone to get them, or your mom got them, than you are going to get them no matter how hard you try to avoid it. All the more reason i wish men got pregnant!

Unfortunately, there is nothing out there that is going to work miracles and rid you of those stretch marks. Lotion can help with the itchiness but that's it. Plus, if your mom had lots of stretch marks than you will too. However, overtime....the stretch marks will fade in color depending on your skin tone.

Hey, from personal experience I doubt that you can do anything to avoid getting stretch marks, but keeping your skin moist will definitely help reduce them. And they'll fade over time after your pregnancy. Just keep doing what your doing.

Just keep the cocoabutter on, theyre genetic, you cant make them stop or go away, only moisturize the skin so it can stretch as best as its genetically predisposed to.
