Behind the scenes at gurgle

I am worried about getting stretch marks this time around because,

a) I had The Bean at 34 weeks in my last pregnancy so never got to that 'huge' stage that happens in the last month

b) I have stretch marks on my back from when I grew really fast at 13 years old, so am obviously prone to them

c) My twin sister has them from her first pregnancy which went full term

It's a shame because I did wear a bikini last summer and felt marginally OK in it, but all accounts from my friends with stretch marks say their bikini days are over. Should I invest in some expensive stretch mark creme? Probably not but I will anyway because I know i'll feel miserable if I do get them. If anyone can send me a sure fire remedy i'd be eternally grateful!

Stretch Marks are common to both men and women. These are caused due to hormonal changes during the time of pregnancy to womens. But it is always better to eat healthy rich nutrient food, use fresh vegetables and juices and massage regularly. Apply cocoa butter twice a day will help for reducing the stretch marks.
