stretch mark cream recommendations ????

Ok, so I figure the sooner I get started with some stretch mark cream/oil the better chance I might have at avoiding so many 😕

Im going to invest in some this next week to celebrate the fact Ive finally stopped taking pregnancy tests !!!! 😀

Any recommendations ????

Thanks

Honestly I think you either get them or you don't; and most of us do!! I think using cream for me was more about cooling the itching as I got bigger and my skin stretched. With my first pregnancy I used Palmer's Cocoa butter and I still got covered in stretch marks. Second time I used Baby Lotion and I didn't really get any stretch marks, although I suspect this was because it had all been stretched first time round and I didn't put on quite so much second time.

Honestly as horrible as they look at the time, they do fade.

I've also heard they are something you get or you don't. I am one of the very fortunate ones that I never got a single stretch mark with either of mine 🙂 I have never used any creams for that but I did get a bit of itching so used a sensitive nivea body cream which was really nice and made me feel really smooth 😀

Just to reiterate what the others have said, i also believe you either get them or you don't. Unfortunately i got loads 1st time around, however second time i didn't get as many, just 1 or 2 (i thought i had got away with it as i didn't get any extra at all until around 37weeks! 😉 ) I also suspect it is because i had already stretched a lot before and was smaller second time around. However i did use Bio Oil with my second pregnancy so maybe it did help a tad? Maybe worth a shot but i wouldn't get too het up about it as Kelly said, they do fade. Mine aren't that visible anymore anyway (unless you are staring up close) plus i feel they are my badge of motherhood! 😍 lol Now my saggy Belly is another story! hahahaha. Xx

BIO OIL. I used it and it reduced the appearance of my stretch marks. And I have BAAAAAD stretch marks.

Thanks everyone, I think I'll give Bio Oil a try and if it works its a bonus but if it doesnt at least my skin will be getting something lovely for a while, I neglect it most of the year because I dont suffer from any skin complaints, it kind of looks after itself.
