I really liked the Made from Earth Aloe & Jojoba Creme Therapy. I didn’t get any strech marks until the last few weeks of my pregnancy and I chalk that up to good genes more than anything.

Regardless though the product did keep me from itching my belly as much as my skin tightened and was moisturizing without being to greasy. I am still using the product three weeks after having my baby and the stretch marks seem to be fading away. I am now buying the product for my best friend who is pregnant. I would recommend the Made from Earth Aloe & Jojoba Therapy to everyone who is pregnant!

Plus my husband loved the smell of it too!!

the only stretch marks that have popped up so far on me are on my breasts. i’m 25 weeks and i’ve gone up two cup sizes, so it’s to be expected… but when i noticed them a little over a month ago i started using st. ive’s collagen elastin body wash as well as the cream and tho my boobs keep growing, the marks haven’t gotten any worse. in fact, i’m convinced that they aren’t as deep as they were a month ago but that may just be my wishful thinking : )

Well… Ladies I am 23… pregnant with my first one… and let me tell ya… It’s exciting… I got stretch marks from puberty and that was pretty much it… just where your hips are… and at 30.5 weeks pregnant… gaining only 16 lbs… I haven’t noticed any new stretch marks…. It must run in the family or something… cause they say that you get them in the ending of your 3rd trimester…. My mom got them when she was pregnant with me and my siblings…. Hopefully it’s not genetic!!!! I have been using basic CoCo Butter and it’s worked for me so far…

Omgawsh I so didn’t think I’d get stretchmarks. I mean my two sisters got them from their pregnancies, but my mom hardly got any…so I thought, maybe…just maybe I’ll be lucky. First pregnancy, and petite. Well, once I hit my third trimester, BAAAM! They hit me. I gained 9 lbs in one month and 9 lbs again the next, I lost so much weight in the beginning due to my terrible morning sickness, so when I finally got over it, I ate like a hungry mad person! Little did I know, those 2 months of gaining 18 lbs so quickly, would give me my stretchmarks. I use cocoa butter, but I hear bio oil is pretty good. Well I just hope when I lose my pregnancy weight, they’ll fade.

My experience was very much like Heather’s; I used a cocoa lotion everyday and stared thinking “I’m going to get through this pregnancy without one single stretch mark!”. Yeah, right! At about week 30 I looked at one of my belly photos and thought oh my….. I’m now 36 weeks and also have a road map! I don’t think that lotions and creams do anything, but we feel lovely using them, so that has to count for something!

I am 35 years old and pregnant with my first child. I have old stretch marks on my hips and two on my belly from weight gain and puberty. I am in my 26th week and have been using Bio Oil and pure coconut oil that I bought in Fiji since the day I found out I was pregnant. I also drink plenty of water and attend cardio and weight training classes 4 times a week, along with DVDs at home and walking almost everynight. I have gained 17.5 so far. I have no “new” stretch marks, but after reading the comments I am thinking they will appear sometime in the 30+ weeks. I do believe that if you are going to get them, you will no matter what you rub on your belly, however it makes me feel good. I will keep you posted if and when I get them!

24 years old – gained 32 lbs so far, 35 weeks preg. Well… I used a coco based lotion even before I became pregnant, and have been using Palmer’s since I was about 3 weeks preg. At around 20 weeks any weak areas started stretching (scars from appendectomy and belly button piercing). I noticed 3 small ones under my belly button while looking in the mirror about 2 weeks ago, and I showed my mother them 2 days ago. I woke up today to a road map on the underside of my belly! I was expecting them, but not all at once… What a shock!

I been using bio oil since 1st trimester. I think i will still get the stretch marks as I have always had dryish skin but hoping bio oil will ‘lessen’ the effects and help heal them quicker after birth.

I have a few faded stretch marks from when i put weight on a few years ago but they havent gotten any worse so crossing fingers the bio oil has some healing factors as it says it does.
