I'm the same as you, no stretch marks on my tummy (thank goodness) but got some on my breasts and my hips/sides of my butt. The cocoa butter stick is what helped me with them. I also tried mederma for a while too, it helped some, but for me the cocoa butter helped the best, and cheaper too. I would rub it on the skin 1 to 2 times per day where ever the stretch marks are. Some people say if you brush the skin first before applying the cocoa butter it speeds up the process also, because it brings blood flow to the area. I guess same reason why massage and pumping work for NBE lol. If you had breastfed you may have gotten bigger haha. I engorged to a full 34C the first day he was born, then as it went on I would engorge more and more, I say I was a 34C, but I probably got at least another 1/2 cup size bigger than that but I couldn't breastfeed past 3 months, I ended up drying up, grrr. Dr say it was because I was too young. I was 17 when I had him. So I'm guessing if I could have done it longer, the older he got, the more milk he would have needed, so the bigger I would have gotten, but oh well, maybe it'll happen next time haha. I plan on having another one in the next few years once we are settled somewhere.
