What are your best remedies for preventing tummy stretch marks?

Question

Hello ladies, I am currently looking into purchasing a good anti-stretchmark product or lotion/oil combo. Do you ladies have any suggestions? 
Also, side note, I have eczema and tend to have sensitivity towards high perfumed lotions. 
Any suggestions would really help. I am first time preggo and all the lotions/oils/creams are a little overwhelming.

Answer

Start using any lotion/oil from the very first day you know you are preggo. Use it on your stomach, thighs and breast 2x a day if you can. Best tip ever, DONT SCRATCH your skin at all. Instead slip a sock over your hand and rub your belly in soft circular motions. I did this all through my pregnancy 5 years ago and it worked amazingly. For reference, my mother had stretch marks with me, I did not.

Answer

Stretch marks are genetic so there's no preventing them. Keeping hydrated can help the severity and for the itching and to decrease how bad they look I use bio oil and Burts bees mama bee lotion.

Answer

My mom had a ton and I had none... I used the belly oil from wish garden and loved it. One bottle should last the whole pregnancy and it’s not that expensive.

Answer

I used the Earth Mama belly oil and butter. It’s organic and natural so it should be okay for your eczema, but it does have some fragrant essential oils in it. I used them both every day as soon as I found out I was pregnant and i literally have zero stretch marks. Both my mom and sister have some stretch marks so I think it helped me. Hopefully it’ll work again for my 2nd😬

Answer

You can’t really prevent them but if you’re pregnant putting breast milk on them can fade them immensely.

Answer

Sorry in advance for my pessimism, but.....not gaining weight and not having baby are two sure fire ways to avoid them 🙃  
Maybe embrace them instead of looking for a magic portion or stressful workout routine

Answer

I tried multiple products and still got stretch marks. It depends on your skin type. My skin isn’t stretchy and my belly is covered in stretch marks from my son.
