    Since I lost weight mine have become substantially less visible, they used to be red, now I cannot see them atball. Oils and creams did not work for me personally, just the weightloss.

    BIO-OIL ;) I will say it over, say it for days. I used coco butter when I was pregnant and it didn't do jack for me! To be completely honest I have heard scratching your stomach as its growing causes stretch marks. Yikes ladies don't scratch if you ever get pregnant again. But I tried medicine from doctors, coco butter... all sorts of crap! but when I started using bio oil on a regular basis.. they got lighter. I would take bubble baths and add it to the water :) A-MAAAAAZING!

    Good Luck

    Everyone told me not scratch when I was pregnant but I couldn't help it. If it itches I HAVE to scratch. I didn't get any stretch marks, thank God. I think it's genetics. If your mom had it, more than likely you'll get it too. My mother didn't get them until her 4th child, so I'm stopping at 3 :laugh: .

    No one in my family has stretch marks --_-- but I still got them. I was a tiny girl though 105lbs to 165lbs in just 9 months!

    Can you really confirm that NO ONE in your family has them?
    Anyway, after doing some research, I found out that genetics is NOT the only cause. There are several factors involved. But certainly scratching during pregnancy was not one of them. One source said if you gained more than 30lbs during pregnancy. Not too sure about that one either though because I gained 37 lbs I think. Oh well, not sure about the cause, but if Bio Oil works for you and others then it can't hurt to try it.
