OK .... anyone have tips on minimizing stretch marks ... :(

Not like I can SEE them ... b/c I can't see much under my belly! But Vinnie noticed them under my belly the other night!

Any advice for what to do NOW so it doesn't get too bad later on?!

Who knows if anything really 'works' - I can't stand the smell of cocoa butter...I have been using a nice thick lotion ...thicker than what I would use on my body normally. I hear the Mustela cream is very good also.

if you are going to get them, you are going to get them. you can moisturize them to keep your skin more strechy but who knows if thats going to really work or just waste your $$...

I've been using the cocoa butter stick from The Body Shop. I don't mind the smell at all (it's very mild), and so far I don't have any stretch marks (and believe me, I search for them every night!).

because I feel your pain!
