    Hi Ils,

    You can use Olive oil on your stomach, breasts and thighs from the 4th month of pregnancy till your delivery, leave it for an hour and you will not have any of your stretch marks. But it should be done from the 4th month when your body parts starts to enlarge. You can have a dress seperately for the time you apply oil.

    I'm a mother of 3yr old and I have done the same from my 4th month and don't have any marks.

    Once you have stretch marks I don't think there is anything you can do to get rid of them. However, before you get them, if you use cocoa butter and some other things, you can prevent them. So I would start using that as soon as you know you are pregnant and use it daily for the whole 9 months.

    Hi:

    The stretch marks and the veins showing is a part of pregnancy. These stretch marks were sometimes itchy when I had them. You can apply Vitamin E based cream for the stretch marks. I have seen quite a few of these creams in pharmacies. But since I haven't used them during my pregnancies I cannot say how far they help.

    My mom has told me to apply Olive oil over the tummy.

    Olive oil is generally good for skin otherwise also.

    You can try that. It should help in reducing the itching sensation also
