Some people say cocoa butter but I'm allergic to it so I might try bio oil

During my first pregnancy I used bath and body works body butter. Pregnant with my 2nd im also using it. It contains a lot of different things that are healthy. I probably got 1-2 small stretch marks with her. I would recommend giving it a try. And its fairly cheap. Its the lotion in the round plastic jar. Good luck ladies!!

Nothing will actually prevent them. Stretch marks are tearing under your first layers of skin, no lotion or oil can penetrate that deep. The best thing to do is eat healthy and stay hydrated.

I've been using bio oil for a little over a month and I've noticed improvement in my stretch marks that I had already had but it hasn't prevented new ones from coming. I'm not sure there's anything that does that unfortunately. Just drink as much water as you can!

Maderma! I was using the same thing as you and I still got stretch marks but after I had my baby I started using maderma and it completely changed my stretch marks. I used it for 3 months and I saw improved results

I used the palmers as well, and now I'm 39 weeks and I started getting stretchmarks at around 28 weeks ...the lotions does not mean u won't get stretch marks its just said to help , some people can't escape them as for me I was 98 and now weigh 152. Some say its genetics as well if your mom got them your more likely to get them as well.
