Ritu replied. Hi Preethu,

I have just finished 27 weeks, but have not seen any stretch marks so far. But I have been using body shop cocoa butter almost from the beginning as it is winters here. Please make sure u use some cream as that's the best we can do. Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter formula as that is what my phramacy lady suggested. However a friend of mine did not have any stretch marks during the pregnancy and they appeared after she delivered , so don't think we can control much. I would suggest you try \";Palmer's Cocoa Butter formula for stretch marks\"; and apply it all of your tummy and upto your breasts.

Take Care - Ritu Avi replied. Hey Preetu, Oils and Cocoa butter do help relieve the itching and help your skin stretch (like Rama said, they are not necessarily a cure for stretch marks).

Although I haven't seen any on my stomach yet, my mom sure has a whole lot of them..and so do the rest of the women in my family...so I am pretty sure I will too (sooner or later). I've been using the cocoa butter to relieve the itching and it helps.

Take CAre

As the skin over abdomen will keep stretching, might see a slight increase in stretch marks too. I've not noticed any yet, but should start to appear anytime soon. I've already started applying the cocoa butter formula, but i guess any kind of moisturising body lotion should be helpful. Somebody even suggested olive oil to me. Its better if u apply it atleast twice a day, idea is to keep skin supple and well toned, as they tend to appear more on those with dry skin.
Hope this helps.

Take care and best regards-Nikita.
