Are you able to breastfeed now? I never really got them, but I think cocoa butter works. I used Aveeno anti itch cream on my tummy when it got itchy. ↑

I would say that Rosey is right about the vaseline, however, that may clog your pores if you use too much. Another great lotion is Johnson's baby lotion. That stuff is great! I try to use that for moisturizing whenever I can. As far as the sagging boobs, I think it depends on the person. I would say to exercise your chest muscles and see what happens. ↑

Palmers makes actual pregnancy stretch mark cream that has cocoa butter but also elastin and colagen (sp) and I used that every night. My stretch marks are not anywhere near as bad as they would have been if I didn't use it. And I never had the itching...maybe it was from the Palmers...anyone else used that cream??? ↑
