When I was pregnant with my daughter, Amanda. I would use coconut oil on my tummy and thighs to help prevent stretch marks. That's what the doctors and women thought was the best course of treatment.. prevention. I was diligent about slathering that coconut oil all over my body.
Well, Amanda, decided to be three weeks late. She was 9lbs 6oz. Needless to say, the last few weeks I started noticing stretch marks on my belly and upper thighs. Oh, no...could it be.... The dreaded stretch marks?? Yep, I thought I'd skirted around them and then all of a sudden there they were. Of course, it didn't help that I gained 55lbs. with Amanda. Now a days, that wouldn't think of letting you gain that much weight.
I've never found anything that takes those unwanted stretch marks away. Maybe someone knows about newer treatments that may work. I know you should try to treat stretch marks while they're still in the "red"(red in color) stage. . I know there are a couple of lasers help lessen them. But,I've never heard of anything that actually removes them completely.
Has anyone been treated for stretch marks and had success with treatment?
