Ideas to avoid Stretch marks?

Question

Anyone have any creams or lotions they can recommend to help prevent or lessen stretch marks?

Answer

I've done so much research on this and looks like everyone says you'll either get them or you won't, regardless of using lotions and potions. My mum has awful stretch marks from my brother but barely had any with me so I'm hoping I follow suit and don't have any with my first baby. I'm just using cocoa butter and keeping my fingers crossed. I feel like I'm destined to get them as I already have them in my hips from rapid growth as a teenager anyway. Good luck!

Answer

Hydration from the inside and outside. Make sure you drink lots of water. I try to get at least 7-9 cups a day. I also use coconut oil on my skin. I use it while in the shower but at the end, that way I can trap in all the moisture. I also apply it right before bed.

Answer

Mothers Special Blend oil has been working very well for me. It's Almond oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, & vitamin e oil.

Answer

Bio oil 2-3x daily

Answer

Vitamin E,  Johnsons yellow baby lotion and coconut oil mixed together. Apply 2x a day. Drink lots of water. Water helps with the elasticity of your skin. Everyone is different, but I recommend starting ASAP.

Answer

I recommend organic coconut oil. Just put water in your chest/butt/stomach and put oil over it and let it dry. My sister did that with both of her pregnancies and doesn't have a single stretch mark. I am using it too now)

Answer

You can try lotions and creams, but it's mostly generic.
