Any recommendations for any creams or oils etc pregnancy friendly to try to reduce or minimise stretch marks?

Unfortunately it’s genetic. Any creams or oils don’t go deep enough into the skin to make a difference to stretch marks. It can help with tightness and itching.

mama mio tummy rub butter smells lovely and is really nice to rub in if you want a treat. If you’re looking for something more budget friendly then Superdrug do their own brand vitamin e cream which is really nice

I picked up the Palmers tummy butter from home bargains for about £3 and it’s helped with the itching and dry skin I was getting

I like Cowshed Mother. No idea if it helps stretch marks but it smells and feels nice 👍

YES!! My Tummy was absolutely covered in stretch marks after DD and after reading all these threads I didn’t think anything could help. But then I read an article about Stria Lab and I’ve been using their kit and honestly my stretch marks are SO much better! It’s on the pricey side but so worth it as it actually works and you wear your skin everyday 🙃 Good luck!!

No idea if it's the cream or just luck but I'm 36 weeks and have no stretch marks yet after using mama mio tummy butter.
