I am so bloated that I am getting anxious about starting some kind of lotion regiment. I do have some stretch marks already on my belly, thighs and breasts but I am really hoping to minimize new ones as much as I can.

I know drinking lots of water is a big part of this (I hate water, so it’s been a struggle and likely why I got the ones I already have as a teenager). Some it is also genetics of course, but I would always wonder “what if” if I didn’t at least try lotions.

I am hoping to find a relatively inexpensive one because of how huge I’m thinking I’ll get (seeing as I’ve already gone up 2 pant sizes and I’m 12 weeks today), but my biggest concern is safety.

I am hoping for brand recommendations to try that have been “momma tested” and approved.
