I carry a travel bottle of lotion with me in my pocket or purse and put a lil on almost every time I go pee drink alot of water and ive heard of using vicks vapor rub at night will reduce marks but I think itd be best to try after baby or at least not use too much or often

I use Mothers Friend, buy mine from Amazon. I'm 33wks and 20lbs heavier and there is not a mark in sight. My mom in law told me about it and it's not expensive, has a nice fragrance as well. I use Vaseline too. :-)

I heard that drinking a lot of water helps too with keeping your skin hydrated giving it more elasticity.

I'm 32 weeks with baby #3 and I've been using Gold Bond healing with aloe.  My first two gave me horrible stretch marks all the way to my belly button and I have not gotten any new ones this time around (knock on wood, lol).

Im using bio oil and aveeno because i find bio oil doesnt make my skin as smooth. I do plan to try the weleda brand soon though. Ive heard some good things about them. No one likes stretch marks! Best of luck to all of us :)

Coco butter didn't work for me either. The best combination I have found is Cure lotion for extra dry skin,  bio oil and vitamin E oil about 3 times a day.  The vitamin E I started using in my third trimester and it has reduced the appearance of the stretch marks I obtained trying to find something that worked.
