Thanks for your thoughts on the baby washing products - I've just found the line of baby products at the Body Shop which I'm hoping work out, but we'll see... Right, switching prenatal vitamins have made a huge impact, thank goodness.<br /><br />Shannon - good call on vitamin E oil - I've heard good things about it. So far, maybe I'm one of the lucky ones? We'll see - the belly has another 14 cm to grow! :)CaroLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792689078893016910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022465548457001781.post-37433821643573601462009-04-14T11:49:00.000-04:002009-04-14T11:49:00.000-04:00So sorry about the oil.

Actual vitamin e oil can help skin heal, but yeah--the only thing that will take away stretch marks is good genetics.Shannon McFerranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775085580161952643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022465548457001781.post-88776862217943131912009-04-13T22:05:00.000-04:002009-04-13T22:05:00.000-04:00I know I know, you are wondering when I am going t...I know I know, you are wondering when I am going to write that post about pointless pregnancy and bfing products. I still want to do it but will probably take a slightly differnet angle. Anyway, I agree with TheFeministBreeder about stretch mark creams. I also don't like the regular baby shampoos like Johnson and Johnson. They work fine but I prefer the organic ones. Also, I don't like regular baby bar soaps, and some of the "specialty" ones like there is a goat soap one for babies, is so strong I can hardly use it on my own skin.<br />Some pre-natal vitamins like Materna are pretty nasty too. I get the intestical distress. When I changed pre-natal vitamins it went away.<br />Oh there are probably more, but I'm stuck now.Melodiehttp://www.breastfeedingmomsunite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022465548457001781.post-24244485856869922442009-03-30T16:46:00.000-04:002009-03-30T16:46:00.000-04:00TFB - thanks, I'm definitely getting that feeling....TFB - thanks, I'm definitely getting that feeling.

Just another part of that "billion dollar a year" birthing industry. As my doc once said "the only thing stretch mark cream ever helped was the manufacturers wallet."<BR/><BR/>I didn't use a drop of any of that stuff, and didn't get a single stretch mark in either of my pregnancies (not trying to brag, just pointing out their uselessness.) It's all about genes and heredity. Some women get the marks, some women don't.<BR/><BR/>For the itchiness, I found that if I stayed hydrated (which wasn't hard because I drank water like a freaking elephant while pregnant) then there was no itching.<BR/><BR/>That's the best I can say.TheFeministBreederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202406381622825349noreply@blogger.com
