Coconut Oil! Omg! With my 1st pregnancy, a boy, I got HUGE. I was constantly using the Palmer stuff. Did NOTHING. I was constantly itching there for scratching (which is why you get stretch marks). I found straight up Coconut Oil late in the game. But once I lathered up no more itching! Which helped reduce the marks. This 2nd round it's ALL I'm using. And it's way more affordable. (Got mine at target, was in a weird isle like the hair stuff isle). But definitely a miracle worker. I told all my pregnant friends about it and they were all "oh! Yea, I know... It's all I use" lol I was like yea thanks for letting me know! But seriously give it a try. It doesn't dry up as quick as lotion which is why it's so great. Keeps your skin hydrated all day. If you massage it in real good (not just belly, so your arms, boobs, legs, lower back) it will give your skin good protection in hydration (so no itching) & you'll smell pretty too! ;-)
I'm also using the Palmer's Cocoa Butter for stretch marks I find it's working very well it doesn't work the same for everybody I didn't get any stretch marks until about my 26th week of pregnancy but they are very minor and not all over and I am still using the lotion helping them keep from getting more prominent
I used bio oil. It works like a charm
Vaseline intensive care coca butter is my favourite! I used the Palmers cocoa butter butnits very expensive for size in comparison. I stayed away from bio oil as it contains vit a. Its up to your own personal preference!
