I must say I didn't get any stretch marks while pregnant..I don't think it was because of the bath oil or the lotion that I used..or maybe it helped that I moisturized daily. But my theory is if your skin is prone to stretch marks then you'll likely get them during pregnancy. It all has to do with the elasticity of your skin. I'm not sure if cocoa butter our any other ointment will actually have an effect on your skin. I just lucked out. My mom got major stretch marks which she blames me for. Ha.
I had a c-sect and you really can't see the scar from that either. They made the incision way low. I know in the olden days, the scar from a c-sect was very obtrusive. I can see the scar but if I was wearing even a low cut bikini, no one would see it. It took awhile but I eventually lost all the baby weight but I also lost all my chest and butt (not that I had much to begin with), and my gut easily expands especially after any eating so all is not really back to norm..but eh my stomach has always been an issue for me anyway..if only I had abs of steel prior to pregnancy..it would probably be easier to get back into shape. If you are planning to get pregnant, it is suggested to be in the best shape you can be. Pregnancy really does take it's toll on the body..internally, structurally, hormonally, every which way you can or can't imagine, even your gums.
