What are you mommies using to try and prevent stretch marks?

[Huni_b]

I used a combination of regular body lotion and stretch marks cream. but still I got stretch marks (at 33 weeks). I heard it's genetic. I believe there's nothing one can do.

Stretch mark cream from it works!

Pure vitamin E oil

Thank you ladies for you feed back...

Bio oil, or 100% cocoa butter. Or the kind at the motherhood store that has collagen in it, and drinking water, taking your vitamins. If that doesnt work then you are just meant to get them. :-) good luck.

Mothers special blend oil from whole foods market, it's not cheap but not too expensive (20 bucks), I had lots of stretch marks from before (I was 210 lbs and lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago, my pre pregnancy weight was 145 lbs) but with this oil I haven't gotten any more...good luck mommy!!!

Coconut oil with Frankincense essential oil mixed together.

I'm 28 weeks going on 29 and have no stretch marks and use vitamin e oil rub it in really good and. Then get cocoa butter and put it on top of that.  I got all this at gnc too. But drinking water and staying in good health help too. I have a small body and big belly so I'm very pleased so far

Nothing lol I hear so much about coconut oil etc. But my friends as far along as me... use it and have tons of stretchmarks already with their firsts... and I have not used it... and I don't have any (39 weeks now)

It all kinda depends on your genetics... I drink a lot of water and exercise I've gained 31 lbs so far.. but I think that water has helped... because skin stretches first from the dermis (innermost layer) and then is seen on the outermost layer (epidermis) last.. so if you can hydrate well enough to give your skin extra elasticity before there is a concern I believe that is the best way... it's just a theory of mine tho. So far it's worked. Haha good luck mommy
