Thumbs sideways, my friend used it all of her pregnancy and it did not work, I think it has to do a lot with your skin, I read that if your skin is prone to stretch marks it's very likely you will get them during pregnancy.

I plan to use it, or at least some similar lotion. It may or may not work, but it is worth a shot. My mom did not get any stretch marks, and what she did was put baby oil on before she got out of the shower each day. She did that starting from a young teenager and has no stretch marks anywhere. I tired that for a while, but I like to re-use my towels a couple of times before I wash them, and with the baby oil I couldn't. I may try it again if I ever get pregnant.

I'm thumbs up. My step-sister used it during her pregnancy, and she swears by it. I've also heard of other people swearing by it. I think I will use this product, though I don't know for sure if it will work or not.

Thumbs way up. DH rubbed it on my tummy from the day we found out we were preggo - it was like a good bonding thing for him and the bun in the oven (now 2 year old DS). I am tiny and have always had good skin too though so anyway....it worked beautifully, here is belly pic from the day I delivered DS at 36 weeks ( I was induced - hence why I looked so happy and not in pain!) - see no stretch marks! And my tummy went right back to normal - again I think it depends on the person - but like I said - mentally it can be a good thing for the whole family (and it smells good!)

Thumbs up! My mother used it for all 5 of her pregnancies including the twins, and she didn't get any stretch marks! I think between that and keeping yourself well hydrated, helps with the elasticity of your skin!

I also heard that keeping yourself well hydrated throught your pregnancy makes for an easier delivery.
