Best products for stretch marks

[LauraBrown1]

Hi all😊 I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant and while I only have a slight bump so far my auntie bought me two products for when my tummy starts growing bigger.
One is a Burt Bee's bump cream and the other, Bio Oil. I read somewhere online that oil works better for stretch marks as it gets down to the bottom layer of skin whereas cream only gets to the top layer.
Has anyone used any of these products before or have any recommendations? My mother doesn't have a single stretch mark and she's had 3 children! So I'm hoping I'm as lucky as her 😂 xx

Bump

I was very nervous about stretch marks since there were very common in my family and I had heard that it was down to genetics.

I used the mama mio stretch mark cream. It was a little bit pricey but so worth it. I didn’t get 1 mark and I’m so happy. Also purchase there boob tube cream as it stop you breast from sagging.

I used bio oil religiously in my first pregnancy and didn't get one! Hoping I'm as lucky this time, although I've been a bit rubbish at applying every day. Must try harder!
