Stretch mark lotion?

I started using palmers coco butter lotion for stretch marks.. The smell of it made me vomit.. Is there any other recommendation for another lotion for stretch marks that' works and is reasonably priced?? I'm at 12 weeks. No stretch marks yet, but want to be proactive!

Omg I was the same way with my first born. I hated it and palmers is expensive for the small amount you get. I bought Vaseline's coca butter. It smells fantastic and you can buy a huge pump bottle. I have not gotten any stretch marks using it either.

Try to stick with it. I used it with my first and I don't have one single stretch mark whatsoever. The smell is intense when your sensitive to smells, but you get used to it. I plan to use it for this pregnancy too even though the smell bothers me.

I used mederma stretch mark and liked it. Make sure to stay hydrated as well. I made it to my 8th month with no stretch marks at all until I got severely dehydrated.

Yeah the smell is pretty strong...I tried the oil too but it made my skin break out on my tummy...
I think any body butter will definitely help as long as you keep it up!! :-)

I use bio oil. It has a pleasant smell and I bought it off of eBay. Its soooo much cheaper than actual retail.
