How to avoid stretch marks **tip**
My secret to avoiding stretch marks with my first two children was using pompian oil. I rubbed it on my stomach especially when it would itch ( try to avoid itching at all cost). I'm proud to say that I do not have any stretch marks on my tummy or breast. Not to brag, but I don't even look like I have had any kids because of using this. I plan to use pompian oil with this pregnancy as well. I know that this may sound silly, but you can find it at the grocery store on the isle where they sell crisco oil. Just thought that I would share a little advice.

Re: How to avoid stretch marks **tip**
I thought stretch marks were something you couldn't prevent?
You might just not be the type of person who even gets stretch marks.
I'm not sure if thats true, because my mom and all of my sisters have stretch marks. I really didn't want to have them on my body, and a friend told me about pompian oil, and I used it and I do not have not one stretch mark.
Pompian .... and you get it in the aisle where the Crisco is?
Are you talking about Pompeiian olive oil??
seriously???????????????
Beat me to it. I was going to share my "secret" - my mother's genes.
No. Stretch marks do not spread, because you scratch them.
My intent was not to debate. I'd just hate for someone, especially if they are dealing with self esteem issues because of stretch marks, beating themselves up thinking that they should have slathered themselves in olive oil. Because, most likely they would still have stretch marks.
If lotions comfort itching I'm all for it. But, most doctors will tell you that topical treatments do not keep you from getting stretch marks.
i know that silly, hence the eye roll
I love my stretch marks. I have them because I scratched my tummy when it itched. And my boobs when they got bigger. And my ass when it got fatter.
Stretchmarks are not a rash, they do not spread when you scratch them.
You misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about you having low self-esteem. I meant that there could be someone reading this thread that has stretch marks from a previous pregnancy, and they give her self-esteem issues. I would hate for that person to think she should have just slathered herself with olive oil. Or, I'd hate for someone that already has lotion that works perfectly well for itchy skin running out and blowing money on olive oil that according to doctors isn't going to make one lick of difference in whether or not they get stretch marks.
You are (in order of importance)
1. Completely misinformed and/or uneducated about stretchmarks
2. Absolutely bragging (don't kid yourself there)
3. A douchebag
Thanks!

LMAO! ((Blair)) I lurves ya'!
That's great.
Also maybe, just maybe you got your "lucky" genetics from the other 1/2 of your DNA, your FATHER? He didn't carry a baby so maybe it's HIS genitics that alllow you to not get stretch marks?
I got them. So did my sister, my mother didn't. My dad's sister and mother got them...my moms mom didn't....interesting how we are made up of 2 different DNA strands.
