Stretch marks are mostly a result of genes. Topically, creams, oils etc will keep the skin hydrated at the surface, but they really have no activity in the deep layers of the skin where cells are forming, and collagen is being deposited causing stretch marks, with tocopherols (vit E complexes) being one possible exception. You'll have a good chance preventing stretch marks by eating plenty of protein, which is needed for rapid cell division in the skin, not gaining excess weight, and possibly also wearing some support under your bump.


If you do find that you have very bad stretch marks, wait until they don't look angry and red anymore. Then have a treatment like Derma-roller or Pixel laser, which encourage cell turnover and collagen metabolism in the deep layers of the skin. xx

Mama mio tummy oil religiously every day with number one, huge tummy, huge nine and half pound baby- no stretch marks...

The odd bit of same oil with number 2 but was summer and too hot so hardly anything, huge belly again, same size baby and stretch marks! I don't actually think it had anything to do with lack of oils, baby was always really low and over to one side and that is where the stretch marks appeared at 35 weeks..


I agree its all about genes...

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
