If so, what are you going to use?

When and what areas will you apply it?

I've read that there's not much you can do to prevent them, but I've been rubbing cocoa butter with shea lotion on my stomach everyday just the same

I have a thing of Palmer's cocoa butter lotion.. but I don't use it everyday... more like.. once every 2 weeks. I just never remember to put it on. I don't see any stretch marks yet... but I guess that doesn't mean they're not there...

I use the lotion as well to prevent more stretch marks from coming. I gained alot of weight with my last pregnancy and have alot of stretch marks on my stomach and thighs, but I'm going to be using lotion right away to prevent anymore from coming.

I'll probably use Bio Oil or Zambuc for stretch marks. I'm going to start using it from after my Dr's appointment.

I used this stuff by burt's bees I can't remember the name and I didn't get one stretch mark (I did gain 60lbs though ) I used it everytime I got out of the shower! However, my feet swelled up so bad I did get stretch marks on them So don't forget your feet!

I just rubbed regular lotion on my belly every morning and at night. I only gained about 22 lbs, and i didnt get very big, but i did go to 41 weeks with no stretchmarks. My skin was so dry during my pregnancy, so it was really easy to remember to put lotion on everywhere! i basically lotioned up from my neck down to my feet, my whole body was dry!! I bought a big bottle with a pump on the top, and kept it on my nightstand, so in the morning i would put lotion on, or right after my morning shower, and right before i went to bed at night.
