Default cocoa butter comparisons (LONG and X-posted)

I've looked *everywhere* for those stretchmarks and haven't seen them...yet.
Another poster responded and said that she got them closer to her due
date...so I still have time

This is a something I meant to post about ages ago, but kept forgetting

to
do once I signed on, and remembered once I signed off.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and knew that I was going to have some itchy skin

on
my abdomen and the possibility of stretch marks. I used three different
types of cocoa butters (and some other random products) and just wanted

to
briefly compare them for anyone else out there who is a CB lover and/or

is
prego and wants to try something. Stretch marks and genetics go hand in
hand. I've read it, been told it, have processed the information.

However,
my grandmothers and mother had stretch marks during their pregnancies.

I
haven't as of yet.


Have you looked in places other than your stomach? I have my stretch

marks,
well, on my saddlebags - lol.
4th pregnancy, no new stretch marks.

Avon's Planet Spa Mediterranean Olive Oil Whipped Body Crème. MIL gave

this
to me as a gift when I went home recently. *Nice* stuff and I didn't

get
flaky itchy skin.


This one sounds great.


HTH and as usual YMMV

I've probably only used my regular lotion on my stomach during my
pregnancies cos it's been itchy - so just Aveeno.
