Heard somewhere that you shouldn't put on your pregnant belly. Please check for accurate info.

Answer

I've developed contact dermatitis from my wedding rings (sad) and I use bio oil a lot on my finger and it Ella a lot. Didn't realize I could use it on my belly! Definitely going to try.

Answer

I am 38 weeks and have used it this whole pregnancy. I didn't get stretch marks until around 33 weeks. They are very faint. I think the bio oil def helps! I also use spoiled mama tummy butter.

Answer

I don't think any oil/cream you use will actually prevent stretch marks from appearing. It's all down to genetics really. If your mum had then your likely to get them too. I'm 29 weeks and I don't have one stretch mark and I haven't used any creams at all. My mum never got any when she was pregnant with me or my brother.

Answer

I'm thinking about starting but iv read studies and been told if your gonna get them your gonna get them nothing will stop it. So I'm not to sure what to do

Answer

I've used it since I was 12 wks, I'm now 24 wks and I have no stretch marks at all, and my bump is pretty big :)

Answer

You don't need to use anything until the second trimester really. I'm 21+3 and I'm still stretch mark free. I only recently started using bio oil cause my stomach is getting bigger every day haha.
