Stretch Marks?

It has been a big issue to me and getting an anti stretch-mark cream was one of the very first few things I did when I found out I was pregnant. I've seen women with horrible post-partum stretch marks and the sight of them has been haunting me. And sometimes, really, there is nothing we can do about it. I read in this one forum where the mommies were discussing about SM saying that they can be in our 'genes', as in if your mum doesn't have them, you are most likely to get away without them too! And if your mum has them, no matter how much cream you use you are bound to have them for lifetime. Erkkk~ And I love my mom's tummy! Takde stretch marks langsung! Or maybe she does have them but since her skin is quite fair they are not that obvious.

Now, this was my only anti-stretch mark cream bought at Guardian. Surfed online and apparently the world's best cream is not sold in Brunei. Even if it is, it might be very costly. This Palmer's cocoa butter is not bad though. It helps a lot in getting rid of the itchiness. However the stretch marks are still very red.

And this is my belly's new best friend! It somehow reduces the itchiness AND the redness of the stretch marks. Too bad I only notice the different effects both have quite recent. Recent, as in yesterday. BOOHOO. But I still hope it is not too late.

On another note, I just hit the 35th week yesterday! Had my check-up last Monday and I actually lost a bit of weight. It could be due to fasting and the doctor didn't seem to be worried. And so far I've only missed 3 days of fasting (including today) as the baby hasn't been quite active lately and I've been a little bit worried. بسم الله توكلت علي الله ولا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم
