Lotion

Can anyone recommend a good stretch mark prevention lotion. I'm 18 weeks and my belly is pushing out and I want to not get stretch marks.
All the help is appreciated.

I have been using Mother's Special Blend oil. It has vitamin e, almond oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter in it to help moisturize the skin. The oil is almost odorless and it contains no suspicious ingredients. It  also keeps my expanding skin from itching.  The bottle has lasted a long time and on Amazon it a very good price.  Good luck.

Anything to keep your skin hydrated is going to help. I'm not sure preventing them is possible but a lot of my friends have used arnica or vitamin e oil

Don't buy into to all the gimmicks and spend loads of money!
Nothing will ever prevent stretchmarks,  im 36 weeks and don't have a single one I just use the same routine as before which means when I can be bothered I just use coco butter:)
