Me last weekend at 5 1/2 months.
In fact, I'm currently taking the advice of many and keeping my skin moisturized with Carol's Daughter's Sexy Belly in an effort to prevent those unsightly stretch marks that 75% of women get during pregnancy. So far so good, but I still have a few more months to go! Even if this popular cocoa and shea butter-enriched product doesn't completely prevent the ugly squiggly lines, it sure makes my skin super supple and smooth in the process, which is something that every woman wants - soft skin!
Sexy Belly available at www.carolsdaughter.com for $17
Have you ever tried this product? For fellow moms-to-be and moms, do you have any stretch mark prevention suggestions?

Yay! How exciting! Congratulations. You look great. I'm happy to hear you're feeling better.
Congrats! You're glowing! I'm going to grab some of the Carol's Daughter product for my sis, she recently gave birth and is trying to fade stretch marks.
Congrats!! I hope u don't get the tiger stripes, I got mine the last two weeks of my pregnancy!! LOL!! That really sucked... doe that products do anything for existing stretch marks?...
Oh wow, congratulations! You must be so excited...That top you're wearing is absolute gorgeous, and you look great!
xo
Congratulations - so excited for you!
I didn't do anything specifically to avoid stretch marks, but I did keep my belly cocoa buttered up in the last few months when my skin was particularly itchy. Don't know if it was the cocoa butter or genetics, but I do not have any pregnancy related stretch marks :)
WONDERFUL!!!!
congratulations!!! you look great! i hope the carol's daughter product continues to work. =)
OMG!!!! Congratulations!! So many of my friends are having babies and I am just stoked! so happy for you!
oh YAY! congrats. you look sooo cute! u could rival heidi klum being all cute and preggers!!!!!
CONGRATS!!! So exciting!
Congrats! You look very nice preggers : ) God Bless
Congratulations on being a Mom-to-be !!!!
Congratulations on your Blessing!
OMG! I'm so happy and excited for our new little BG!! Yyyaaaay! You look fabulous too! I hope the Carol's Daughter works for you. Usually stretch marks don't arrive until late in the pregnancy so keep that belly lubed up and keep your fingers crossed. Stretch marks or not, it won't matter when you see your little one staring at you with your hubby's face! Celebrate good times come on!
YOU LOOK GREAT!
Congrats again!!! I'm so glad you're feeling better.
This sexy belly business looks like a product I'm going to have to add to my to-try list.
Tips (from my mom and sis): Rubbing oil and shea butter on your tummy and never, ever, under ANY circumstances scratch. EVER.
Can't wait to see all the baby BG (or BB) stuff.
Sexy mama! Congratulations!
A very lucky kid to have parents like you.
whaaaaaaaaaat? i haven't been here in about a month and y'all are expecting?!? wow! congrats! i'm so happy for you and your hubby.
I'm so very happy for you and your husband! You are beautiful and glowing..Congratulations!!
You look great! Lewis and I are so happy for you guys.
congrats! stretch marks took over my belly. I have not been the same since, but I have beautiful kids and a husband that loves me and my marks..even KISSES them...I dont think anything stops them though. I know people that used all kinds of creams and they still got them bad!!! One friend never got them and then ended up getting them on her third child...good luck,
Yaaaaayyyy We are out of the closet!!!! Congrats!!!
hey girl congrats!!! wow u look amazin~~ :)
continue to post about ur pregnancy too i'd love to hear what products u use :)
Thank you all for your lovely comments! All of your well-wishes mean so much. I'm hoping that genetics play a role in the dept of stretch marks (my mom didn't get any after 3 kids), but u never know. Even if I do get them, it will be all worth it!! I can't wait to meet my baby girl in January! Thanks again for your compliments. Oh and for Aleksa, I got that top at Daffy's (like a TJ Maxx, Marshall's) in NY for only $8! I love it!;-)
Oops I meant Aleksis! Sorry.
Wow, congratulations BGG! Best wishes for a healthy and happy baby!
congratulations! You should use bio oil 4 times a day. Works like a charm!
Bgg CONGRATSSSSSS how exciting! I have never had a baby but people claim that cocoa/ shea butter is the way to keep the stretch marks away!
YAY for baby BGG :-)

Carol daughter's seems to be amazing, but it's not available where I live, not even at Sephora, I'm going to order online
Awww congratulations to you and your hubby. I agree with everyone else, babies are wonderful. I have 2 myself. I wasn't lucky and I did get the "zebra stripes" but hey, that comes with the territory but when you hold that precious baby girl... :-) Best wishes!!!
OH MY GOD. CONGRATS LOVE! WHEN I MET YOU YOU DIDN'T LOOK PREGGO AT ALL. CONGRATS!
You look beautiful! Congratulations!!!
I've been missing in action for a min and had NO IDEA!!!
My goodness BG! You're bout the cutest lil prego thing ever!! Congrats, congrats, congrats!!
Be sure to let us all know where you're registered!!
Congrats! you look beautiful! Definitely put us on to your registry = we gotta show love to new BG
congratulations! my husband and i are expecting our second child in january. i used 100% african shea butter on my belly and other expanding parts and was blessed to not have one stretch mark! the only tip besides moisturize like crazy i can offer is don't scratch!! your stretching skin will itch sometimes even with the moisturizer(s), but don't scratch. that's what induces more stretch-marks.
many blessings to you and your family!
Congrats to you & your hubby! What a blessing!!
Congratulations!!!!! You are beautiful. Best wishes and many blessings.
Congrats on the new addition!
Congrats Sis!!! You look wonderful :)
congratulations mama! i'm elated!!
