I have absolutly horrible stretch marks from my pregnancy with Angel (My midwife said the worst she'd ever seen, out of 150 babes they must be pretty severe!)I started using cocoa butter, but it was too late as I was already 6 months along. AFter that they just started populating... I have been skin brushing and that has really smoothed the texture on them. I have taken EFA's this pregnancy and do not have any new ones on my belly, but a few new ones on my thighs--or else just stressed older ones. What I am going to try after the baby is ozonated olive oil at http://www.aloeessence.com/ They call it Nature's Gift. I am a member of the same yahoo group as the owner and she was telling me how her friend used it every day while she was pregnant, and not only did she not get any new stretch marks but the nine year old ones she had entirely dissapeared. She said she used two jars worth. It is $15 a jar, worth a try to me...I think that is what I am going to ask for for Christmas. :) On another forum one lady said she used Strivectin and it got rid of all of hers, but it is a chemical so I want to try the ozonated olive oil first. Hope that helps a bit! :)
