    Probably time. I have more after birth than I did pregnant. They came out of nowhere

    Crisco shortening. I don't have any from pregnancy yet (knock on wood) but I got bombarded with stretch marks at puberty. I moisturized with Crisco shortening after reading an article where a plastic surgeon suggested it to his clients. Most of them balked and so he just repackaged the same type of formula in his own stretch mark cream. It worked great for me. You can't really tell unless you look super hard that I have any!

    Mother's Special Blend is what I use now for a skin moisturizer (even before pregnancy) and my SIL used it during her pregnancy (cause I turned her onto it before she got pregnant) and she is also stretch mark free. If I can't afford MSB, I buy pure vitamin E oil.
