The skin on my belly feels so tight and stretched to the max and I'm only 30 weeks pregnant. Anyone else have this issue? I'm use Burt's Bees belly butter on it but it still feels so stretched.

It does feel that way when I am standing up but when I lay down it seems to go away still. With dd, it felt constantly tight with no relief by about 37 weeks but it will happen sooner this time because he is bigger

when I lay down i get that! DH rubs Bio Oil on me nightly and about 5 mins after that i get relief. He did it with DS (when we remembered) and i was bigger then I am now with him and got no stretch marks.. i recommend it!

I use L'Occitane Shea Butter 15%. I'd use the 30% but it's too thick with this weather.

It does WONDERS... I've been a convert from way back when..

mine feels tight when i stand up for long periods of time.
i use cocoa/shea butter mix and i still have gotten a couple stretch marks.

i'll probably buy the good stuff to make them disapear after the baby.
for now i'll just use the other stuff.
