I started using pretty early too... on my 8th week. Hehe!

Please use it as early as you can before stretchmark starts to show... if it shows then ITS TOO LATE

Rmb to apply those creams/oil constantly! For my 1st preg, I applied religiously until 33w and i decided to stop applying (save $) thinking that stretchmarks wont come already.. and BOOM. Now my tummy, hips and thighs are filled with marks :'(

I only apply to tummy area but not diligently..
we need to apply for thighs and hip too?

 

[LilMissy]

i only applied at my tummy every morn. too lazy to do it for my thighs and hips. so far ok...

I used palmers oil since my second month, apply to hips and stomach. When u r close to your due date and bb dropped, your lower abdominal is prone to ugly stretch marks.

i just bought myself a bottle! will start applying as dilligently as i can!

actually if you see the instructions on the bottles/tubes it will indicate areas like tummy, thighs, butt and even breast. Cause these are the areas that will expand. breast cause your milk production in place so will be bigger too.

i'm also lazy to apply, plus i really hate the oily/sticky feeling of cream/lotion/oil on me body, hence currently I don't use daily.
but when i apply, i'll apply on all these areas including my arms as overall I put on weight and that includes my flabby arms
