question regarding stretch mark creme
This may be a silly question, but how early do you start using it?? Do you wait till you get stretch marks? or is it to prevent them?

Re: question regarding stretch mark creme
I just started at around 12 weeks.
I don't think stretch creme alone will prevent stretch marks, but it can definitely help improve elasticity if you keep up a moderate exercise routine.

Re: question regarding stretch mark creme
I'll be starting as soon as I get some  I used Palmers with DD right from the beginning and escaped with none...so I plan on doing the same this time.

Re: question regarding stretch mark creme
I always start in my second trimester. You want to hydrate the skin before it starts to stretch. More hydration is suppossed to give the skin more elasticity.

Re: question regarding stretch mark creme
i really don't think cream prevents stretch marks... but i use it anyway.
both last time and this time i started using it around 20ish weeks, although it can't hurt to start sooner...

Re: question regarding stretch mark creme
i have had stretch marks on my stomach and sides for awhile because i gained weight pretty quickly years ago.. they "disappeared" (got lighter) and haven't really gotten darker. maybe one or 2. i use palmers once a day (if i remember) and have been using it since i got pregnant. i wanted to prevent it from getting darker & getting more

Re: question regarding stretch mark creme
I swear by cococare cocoabutter creme......it comes in a tub and looks like lard. It's a little grasy but smells yummy and worked great with DD #1 and is working well with #2 also. I started using it right away both times.
