Hey Mummas!

I got quite a few stretch marks with my first pregnancy, even though I used bio oil from the get go.

I’m now pregnant again, so any suggestions for the best cream/oil to use the 2nd time around to avoid more stretch marks?

TIA x

I used Burt’s Bees body oil at night and Burt’s Bees belly butter in the morning (both sold on Amazon) and I have no stretch marks.

I also had quite a lot of stretch marks on my first. I also used Bio Oil then but not religiously. I've read genetics is a big factor, and I believe that because both my mum and sister have stretch marks too.

On my second and third pregnancy, I used Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Lotion, then Pigeon Natural Botanical Maternity Stretch Marks Cream respectively. Thankfully, there were no more additional stretch marks so I guess they helped in a way. Although, there are still other factors like our age, I was way younger when I had my first child :)

I used Decleor Prolagene which didn’t fully prevent stretch marks but did fade them quickly.
