I don't mind "Thread thief" (joke!!!):biggrin:

I am currently using Palmers coco butter, I love it and my skin is still soft and supple. My mum and both of my sisters didn't get any so I like to think I will follow in their footsteps!

I used coconut oil every evening on stomach (and boobs) and I don't have any stretch marks. Shame it didn't work for the cellulite!!

From what I have seen there are very few things work to prevent stretch marks. They are hereditory so if your mum had em, you'll have em! lol (Correct meif I'm wrong).

I have read that a zinc deficiency places are part in strectch marks, so remember to take your supplements.xx

With vinnie I had a thing for McDonalds Double cheese burgers - I could have 3/4 at a time (fat PIG!!) and Co-op's indvidual triffles and friut salads!

I tried that Bio Oil for stretch marks but it didn't work so I tried Palmers coco butter and that did better but my marks were quite bad by then!! I ended up with steriod crem at 34 weeks as I developed an allergic reaction to my pregnancy!!!!! LOL

By the way How long - If you don't mind me asking :o- did it take people to start having their monthlys again? Vinnie is 6 months and 2 weeks old and there is no sign of mine appearing. Is coz I had a c section?

 

[stanleyann]

it was ice lollies for me and gallons of fizzy juice......i am a serial diet coke drinker but i couldnt stomach it when i was pregnant

this post has brought back memories.......this time last year i was heavily pregnant and munching dozens of ice lollies.....lol

it took me about 6 months to get them back - you should ask your midwife/health visitor xxx

with my two sons no cravings but with my daughter it was ice- ice-ice I would sit and crunch on ice cubes all day, I got banned to the back room as iIdrove them mad with my crunching, when I went into labour I made sure I had some with me, but as soon as she was born the craving went away.

 

[pinkmummy]

I used to eat bathroom sponges..........15 a day, and I would have eaten more but my husband put his foot down!!

I used to send him off to go and buy basketfuls of them just to keep me sane!!! I couldn't face a day without having some!!!


Weird!!!

Can understand that one, I never ate them tho, just chewed and sucked icy cold water from them. The texture of a new sponge was great. I thought I must have been the only one with this embassasing secret till now.:biggrin: :o :biggrin: Only affects me when preggers thank goodness.
