Hehe, a lot of women don't get stretch marks till the 8/9 month mark. I got them a couple of weeks before my due date and i remember threads where women got them after going over their due dates

Oh well. Start as I mean to go on

i've been using stretchmark oil around 14 weeks once a day, when my boobs and tummy started to feel itchy. I assumed it's because the skin was stretching.

Better starts early, before those horrible lines show up.

I've been using a Therapy massage bar from Lush since about 6 wks which is amazing for moisturising the skin (and smells lush...excuse the pun!). I'd say the earlier you start moisturising the better, and drink plenty of water too. Maybe you could alternate between using the oil you have with another cheaper oil or butter every other day so that it'll last a bit longer.

I love lush stuff but the last massage bar i had was sooooo messy and horribly oily so my bedsheets were covered in it if I used it before going to sleep!

Is this one messy? I might get that too!! (I dont really drink water.

) x

It is quite oily which is probably why it's so good for u. However, I've also used the strawberry feels massage bar which is really good too and that's more buttery than oily, and smells of fresh strawberries...yum!!
