i dont want to get stretchmarks!

So this is my second pregnancy and I didn't get any scars with my first but I used expensive mama mio products religiously that I don't want to buy this time around. Anybody know of any cheaper creams and oils that work just as great as the expensive stuff? Thinking of using coconut oil, vitamin e oil, and omega oil mixed but will that smell weird?

Lotions can only do so much so any stretch mark cream will work but to avoid stretch marks you really have to make sure your weight gain is slow and you don't gain too much too fast

Skin has what's called "elasticity". Or lack there of.. If you have good elasticity you will not get any stretch marks. If you don't then you will. It's all genetic.  I didn't get any with my 1st and I don't think I'll get any with my second. I only use my normal moisturizer..

I use Bio Oil and I use it faithfully, my skin dont itch at all and I dont have any stretch marks. Im 30 weeks pregnant and I been using it since I was 9 weeks. Maybe you can try it.

Stretchmarks are more genetics than anything
