I didnt really get any stretch marks... I got a bunch of them on my boobs, but thats what happens when you jump from a b, to almost dd. Lol. But the night I went into labor(before I went into labor... Haha like 2 hours before, and I told kevin this baby better hurry up and get out before I get anymore stretch marks...) I found a stretch mark on my side, that didnt even look like a stretch mark... Lol it was circle, but now its a line. And then a couple days ago, 6 little ones appeared on my lower belly... Like right below my pants line. Using cocoa butter wont stop you from getting stretch marks, but it will make it not as bad as it could have been. It slightly increase the elasticity of your skin, while it also smooths and tones your skin. I used it. Lol I even used it on my legs cuz it made them look better for when I wore shorts. I hate my legs, and this was the first summer I was confident enough to wear shorts.
