Best belly/stretch mark cream?

Question

Even though I am only 9 weeks pregnant, I read somewhere that you should start putting stretch mark cream on as soon as possible. So any homemade or store bought creams/ointments that you ladies plan on using? Or have used that you really liked or have good reviews? :)

Answer

I heard bio oil is good. My friends used it after 1st trimester all the way through & had no stretch marks after xx

Answer

Just pray that u have great skin! I unfortunately do not and my first pregnancy spent loads of money of products and still ended up with them. My sister on the other hand used nothing and didn't get one. Moisturize as much as possible. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones! ;-)

Answer

I got huge in first pregnancy 13 years ago but didn't start showing till I was 6 months (ended up with a 9.5lb baby). I didn't get one stretch mark and I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter daily throughout.

This time I am starting my pregnancy the size I was at the end of my first *sigh*. I haven't put weight on yet (9w4d) but I'm armed with Palmer's again plus I have bio oil and body shop body oil in the bathroom just in case.

Good luck!

I swear by Jasons Vitamin E Oil. I buy off of Amazon. I did not get 1 stretch mark with my first pregnancy and I have given it as gifts to friends and they didn't get any either. It has more than Vitamin E in it so it's very nourishing. I would always apply it after I dried off from a shower so it would get into my pores. You get a little oily but it's worth it!!

Answer

I was just thinking about this last night! I'd love some input, too.

Answer

My best friend is 7 months pregnant and she has been using a combination of palmers coco butter and coconut oil. She is very petite and that mixture has worked wonders for her. I am now 10 weeks and doing the same.

Answer

With my 1st pregnancy I didn't use any creams or anything & had no stretch marks. Sometimes it all depends on the elasticity of your skin, I've fought with my weight since I was a kid of losing weight & gaining so I think my skin was already use to the constant gaining & losing. Or I just got lucky! Good luck!
