I know I'm going to get them, I've already got some. But I figure putting moisturiser etc on won't hurt... I try to do it twice a day, and even if it doesn't make a difference to stretch marks, MAN I have soft skin

So where did you get yours? At the moment I'm concentrating on the lower part of my belly, under belly button and across, and also hips/muffin roll sort of area...

Not sure if I should bother going right up my belly, my hips/thighs etc?

Tummy, hips and boobs

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I got none on my belly at all - the few I got are running from the front of my hip bones around my bum, and running horizontally across my thighs down to about short skirt height IYKWIM.

Didn't get any sorry. (I used bio oil and cocoa butter with Jake and barely remembered to do anything with Morgan but cocoa butter and moisturiser some days, so I'm not sure if it actually helped, but worth a try!)

None at all. I used Biooil with Lilly and Biooil and cocoa butter with Willow.

Hhmm maybe I should start going around my hip bones and backs of thighs and that a bit more carefully!

I use a bit of bio oil (which I HATE using) and cocoa palmers stuff, and normal moisturiser. I just kind of put it into my daily routine of face wash/tone/moisturise and when I do deodorant/moisturise legs before I get dressed and that so it doesn't much more time.

Figure it's definately not gonna hurt trying!

Do from your neck down, lol! I used bio oil on my belly everyday with Isla, got no stretch marks there, but did get them on my hips and boobs. Used nothing this time, and thought I had got away with none- but got a nice collection below belly button that appeared just 3 days before Aiden was born.

I already do neck, arms, and legs, so maybe I'll just start joining it all up and do as much as I can reach!

I'll tell ya what, it only takes 5min every morning and night, which I add to facewash and all that which I done anyways, and I have such lush skin right now!!!

I can see when I skip a day though, my skin is just lapping up the moisturiser! Its loving it!

I used the palmers stuff most days and got none on my tummy/hips etc at all. The MW was quite impressed, because I certainly got a decent bump!

Sadly, the one night DD had a decent sleep (about 3 weeks old), I woke up with them ALL over my boobs and seem to get more there every day

Is there something you can put on your boobs that is ok if baby licks a bit off when feeding?

I just had them on my boobs during pregnancy.

 

After giving birth and my milk came in, the ones on my boobs got worse and some on my hips suddenly appeared too. I have a few small ones on my butt and thighs now too

 

T-Rex, my MW was also suprised/impressed that I didn't get any during pregnancy

Tummy, hips, thighs and boobs.

Put Olive Oil on your skin. It's better than moisturiser and no risk of nasty chemicals crossing the placenta

from what I understand, if you are going to get stretch marks, you will get them. bio-oil just reduces the damage done.
but as you say, if anything it makes your skin feel great!

I might try olive oil... Anythings worth a try...

kathamill, I know I'm going to get them, I got them when my boobs grew, and already got some on my hips... But its worth a try, not gonna hurt doing it anyways!

I hadn't been putting anything on my boobs, cos they already covered in old ones, from when I got these E cups at 14 (i'm sure it was over night..) that have gone all skin colour.. Might be worth putting more on incase i get more!

HB I started to get them on my hips and boobs early on (maybe 16 weeks?) and now have heaps on boobs, hips, thighs (just the top bit, like an extension of my hip ones). None on my tum yet, but I am sure they will come.
I put bio oil on in the PM and palmers cocoa butter in the am, every day from my BFP. And my mum didnt get any Ive pretty much accepted Im going to be covered by the time bubs comes out!

The Olive Oil held mine off for awhile and I do believe that it reduced the damage. I only have a few deep, dark ones, the rest are pretty minor and already fading (Mac is only 11 weeks old)

I hardly got any at all with my first pregnancy and I used nothing at all. I used bio oil right though with my second and got away with hardly any right up until the last week when Erynn 'right baby' decided to roll over and caused HAVOC right over my belly. *Shakes head* twins huh?

I got one small one under my bellybutton, nowhere else. I did bio-oil every day plus cocoa butter. So far the boobs have survived BF with no stretch marks so hoping that will last! My mum had none either so reckon genes has lots to do with it.
