Moisturising cream for boobs (and later bump)

Hi ladies,

I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and my boobs have already gone up an entire cup size! I was a 34F (so already pretty big!) and gone up to a G already.
I'm in so much pain with them it's unreal. I'm having to wear a mat bra day and night 😔
The latest is they are now super itchy too - yay!

Since I'm barley even 2 months gone, I'm assuming they are going to get a LOT bigger! Any recommendations on good creams to prevent stretch marks and/or stop the itching??

Something that I could later use for bump too when it appears would be awesome.

And if you have any miracle tips on stopping my boobs killing me, please let me know 😘 xx

I’m only 19 weeks so have no proper suggestions, but I’m using bio oil. Can’t say it is works yet, but my skin smells good!

Unfortunately stretch marks are genetic so no creams or oils will stop them. I use mama mio tummy butter, it smells lovely. In the early weeks I used vitamin e cream from Superdrug

Nothing prevents stretch marks, but Palmers Cocoa Butter smells nice.

I mixed bio oil with Palmer's antibstretch mark lotion. Later on got Niel's Yard butter as a gift. Would recommend all 3, I didn't get any stretchmarks I know it's a draw of luck more so than the lotions but they were lovely to use

I used the body shop cocoa butter. Not a single stretch Mark. But I still have plenty of old ones from when I was a teen so not sure they are purely genetic as I reckon I would have got them whilst preggers too. I think being careful may have worked!

I've been using Weleda stretch mark oil which makes my skin feel soft and moisturised throughout the day. I'm only 16 weeks so can't comment if it's any good yet. I read some reviews which varied. As it's an oil I'm not convinced the bottle will last long so I've just ordered Mustela stretch mark prevention cream to try. I recently posted a similar thread and the replies were basically that you can't prevent stretch marks so just chose something that moisturises and smells nice! And of course plenty of fluids to hydrate your skin
