stretch marks

[cshedrick]

I am just a little over 9 weeks along and this is my first pregnancy. I feel like I'm already kind of getting a belly so my question is does anyone have any suggestions for lotions or something else to help prevent or lessen stretch marks?

If there's a Trader Joe's in your area they sell a coconut oil lotion that smells amazing! I was using Palmer's coco butter, but all of the sudden around week 12 the smell started making me nauseous. My friend used the Trader Joe brand her whole pregnancy and it worked really well. :)

If its genetic you have a high chance of getting them. Im pregnant with my second, with my first  he left his marks everywhere,I use everything twice  to prevent them. I still got them:( I just learn to love and accept them my husband calls them my beautiful tiger stripes lol...

Definitely coco butter. It does wonders. I'm also on baby number 4. I'm 10 weeks 1 day. Could also try I think it's called bio-oil. Not for sure the exact name. Congratulations on ur lil miracle.

Coco butter is the only thing that has worked for me. This will be my fourth child.

I got coco butter and am going to start using in within the next week. I am so bloated so I feel like I have a belly too. Ha I'm 9 weeks and 6 days along with my first and my friends whom have had kids said they started using it asap more as a prevention then anything else.
