Stretch mark prevention?

Question

Have any of you ladies begun using lotions to prevent stretch marks in the future? If so, which brands do you use? Do you enjoy them? Have you used them in a previous pregnancy and they worked? Do you prefer making your own? What recipe do you use?
Im looking for something to use thats paraben and silicone free and has a light perfume as well. Im also not the biggest fan of the scent of coconut and am struggling to find something that would work. Ideas?

Answer

I use the Palmer's cocoa butter - it kept me pretty stretch mark free in my first pregnancy....until the very last week when my belly was like NooooOoooOoooo and I got a few lol
I still use it, love the smell and it rubs in easily.

Answer

I've had stretch marks since far as I can remember, around my belly button on my hips that wrapped around my lower back and on my upper arms near the pits. I started using these two combined when I was a junior in high school I graduated in 2014 and don't have one stretch mark on my body today!

Answer

Even though they're genetic, I still like to try. I never got them with my first and I kept moisturized. My last baby though i got really lazy and barely moisturized at all and got a few on my hips and thighs luckily not really noticeable. Ever since I got my bfp this time, I have been using coconut oil all over my thighs and must below my hips and vitamin e oil on my hips and belly, twice a day.

Answer

Unfortunately stretch marks are genetic and really cant be prevented... But I still do rub body butter on my belly and breasts every night because I figure it can't hurt. Plus, it just feels good to rub my belly! Lol

Answer

Cocoa oil and honest company belly balm every day/night since 14 weeks. 34 weeks today and no stretch marks. Genetic or not-I'm not stopping my moisture routine😂
