stretch marks

What are you ladies using to minimize stretch marks? I'm just using cocoa butter when I think about it. The problem is I don't think about it daily.  I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow. I hope it's not too late to use it consistently.

Stretch marks are the devil LOL. I'll just keep using cocoa butter so I can at least think I'm making a difference.

After the shower is best,because your skin is able to absorb the ingredients better,lotions that are a little thicker and have vitamins e and c are really great

i've heard bio oil works. but i use vaseline brand cocoa butter with vitamin E in it after showers. I don't use it every day though. Try to stay hydrated is a good idea too.

Putting any kind of lotion. Stretchmarks are cause from dry skin and of course your skin stretching.. coco butter is really good. Apply at least 2-3 times a day keep your whole body lotioned

I was told by a girlfriend, Palmer's cocoa butter lotion works wonders. Must use daily though and put everywhere! Thighs, belly, butt, sides, arms, boobies. You can get them in the darnedest places!

Nothing will help... I never used any lotion with my first two pregnancies and didn't get stretch marks....but my friend had used it everyday and she is covered in them....
Vitamin C makes your skin stretchy ... Maybe have more oranges :)
Hope you don't get them x

I always put lotion on right after I get out of the shower. So just put it on the counter it will help you to remember.
