Most women I know who have given birth believes in the partnership of cocoa butter and stretch marks. Too bad I did not listen to them. When I was pregnant, I did not put anything on my big tummy. At first, I thought, I was not going to have stretch marks because I am already fat. You know, since I have more room for expansion then my skin will not break out. However, those ugly lines appeared on the ninth month. It was too late. As they said, prevention is better than cure.
