lanolin....

[poltergeist]

ya very funny jack but she is already pregnant :)

[poltergeist]

what is lanolin?

[crazycathy2]

Use bio oil , olive oil but it doesn't guarantee no stretch marks.

If you're prone to them you'll likely to get them.

Got to say I've had 2 children and no stretch marks but what difference do a few stretch marks make?

[jack daniels]

congratulations are in order then

the stretch marks are part of it, don't worry they'll go away after the babby is here.
find out from gp/pharmacist as to what can be applied without affecting the bump

[Velvetee]

Oh FFS shut up. It's natural to develop stretchmarks. You are a really nasty person and God only knows why this woman married you. Get real, it's a natural part of pregnancy.

[poltergeist]

thanks for the congrats. hmmm bio oil? there is another thread about this.
tar very muchly

velvetee I see your hormones are playing up hun? I dont mind I still like you, even ifyou do start abusing me for absolutely no reason what so ever x

lanolinn. fat extracted from wool and used in ointments and cosmetics

I used it and have no stretch marks....

[Velvetee]

You are an idiot. What kind of man, in his right mind would say he doesn't want his wife developing stretch marks. Women don't have a choice in the matter.

You are insensitive and misinformed, you must spend your days making her feel like crap. I expect you also blame her for being pregnant with a boy, when you only want a girl. You need to grow up and stop acting like a kid.

its not that velvetee but I find that stretch marks are a turn off. wow you are frisky today are you not :) I wish i was there to make you a nice cup of calming camomile tea

craft did you use them before the birth? how often and for how long? how old were you when u had a child?

Decleor Prologene Gel - its good for any type of scarring, stretch marks, acne scars etc.

Its quite expensive (around �30.00 a tube).

[poltergeist]

i can afford it den :) do u have to apply it b4 the birth etc?

[DEN53]

Not necessarily - I think it works more on the marks when they appear. If stretch marks do appear, there is no telling where they will be, but saying that not every women get them.


They sell it on QVC the shopping channel.

i used no creams and have no stretch marks.my sister also used no creams and has loads of stretch marks. it's the luck of the draw and nothing makes any difference.
i agree with velvetee. you need to be supporting your wife in every aspect, not moaning that YOU find stretch marks a turn off.

[Ethel]

Genuine curiosity - why have you put 'like' in the first sentence?

Whether or not you get stretch marks depends on several factors, such as how much weight is put on but more importantly the amount of elasticity in the skin. It is down to genes, really, and manufacturers peddle pots of hope but the truth is there is not a lot you can do about it.

Maybe your wife doesn't like bald men - what will you do to prevent that?

i reckon stretch marks are a "badge of honour"
