Okay how many girls here have used cocoa butter or something else during the pregnancy to help w/ stretch marks that actually works?? B/c im using cocoa butter and its good lotion and that but if its not going to really help w/ them then I wanna switch to something that will....I mean I know I will have some but hopefully not alot and not as noticable.....Any suggestions are great!Thanks much love and god bless!!

Hello jen,
i used cocoa butter during both of my pregnancies and I don't have one stretch mark, well except on my breasts and that was because they blew up before I knew I was pregnant with leilani. It works very well and I recommend using it constantly. I find myself putting a new application on almost every 20 minutes or so just out of habit. Cocoa butter is inexpensive, smells great and works well! I have also heard that lubriderm and diaper oitment helps? I can't vouge for either one, but I can say that desitin creamy prevents diaper rash! Wink good luck

My friends mom said baby oil works best. And my sister alma used cocoa butter and she got so many stretch marks! She was a tiger! Lol but andrea my other sister used nothing and had nothing. But this one girl here told me "mothers friend" cream works better. Its like a vitami c or something cream for stretch marks and it worked for her. There are so many! But good luck!
