Best anti-stretch mark creams?

Just wondering what people use or have been recommended for prevention of stretch marks?

I'm keen on starting to use one asap but there's so many different ones. I've been told Rose Hip Oil is really good but also mixed with other things.

I am 14 weeks and no bump! That means we have to be extra cautious because our body will have less time to stretch! People who start showing early on are lucky because their body slowly stretches!

I'm 16 weeks with a beautiful bump! I use "frei" massage oil and it works well.

Im 17 wks 2nd baby already have bump. However with my first i stretched so much my skin hurt bad. I couldnt keep clothes on bc it was paper thin! My daughter stretched me so bad stretch marks everywhere!! But i used coconut and olive oil blended with shea butter to help and it did. This time around ive been moisturizing way ahead and so far doing ok with stretch marks. Some will come of course but trying also to jst help my skin stretch better this time around

I used Bio oil  twice a day but it is a bit pricey! So I also used a mixture I made myself of coconut oil and avocado oil. If I was on the go I would carry baby oil gel and just made sure I always kept my belly moist. Bio oil in the morning and at night and the rest through out the day! Don't forget to also put it on your breasts, thighs and butt and NEVER scratch! I didn't get one stretch mark with my first baby and now with baby number two I am already on this routine! Oh and drink plenty of water!! Good luck!
