painful strech marks

Hi I am 18 weeks pregnant and have not gained any weight yet, but I have these huge strech marks on my belly! I know that I was going to get them b/c my mom had them but they r really sore and itchy. I am using palmer's tummy butter on them but I was wondering if there is anything else I could do to sooth them. I know that I can't do anything to take them away, just want them to stop hurting. Thanks ladies!!!

HI, last night b4 I went to bed I put the equate brand(wal-mart) of eucerin cream on my belly and put a piece of plastic wrap over it.... I woke up this morning and they r sooooo much better!!!!! It was amazing, I think if I keep doing it they will fade all the way back to white!!! Give it a try and let me know if it worked for u!!!

Johnson and Johnson's Baby Oil Gel use it right when you get out of the shower when your body is still soaking wet, then pat yourself dry...I am 10 weeks today and i use it alllll over every morning and every night and I have yet to see a stretch mark!

I know Vitamin E lotion helps prevent them... you could try some Aloe as well.
