She is pregnant for about 3 and a half months. We are expecting our second baby and our son will be 10 years old when his sibling comes out into the world. She had stretch marks during the course of her first pregnancy but now her tummy's appearance has improved a lot and she even wears sometimes two piece bikinis when she goes to the beach. We are open to suggestions on what she can put on her tummy to minimize the stretch marks. Is Neutrogena sesame oil ok for her?

Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks

palmer cocoa butter but if your tight on money mineral oil will work...also she can use regular lotion on her tummy if shes only a few weeks along and it will keep her skin moist enough to withstand through the whole pregnancy (if shes more than 20 weeks or already has streatch marks then the regular lotion probly wont work because she needs to give it time to get the skin hydrated enough....) feel free to alternate between any one of these three if she uses palmers once a day and lotion the rest of the time youll save about 40- 50 bucks if she puts it on like i did...also palmers has a skin tightner for after pregnancy to help with that....i loved it...

Bio Oil is realatively cheap and works. There is also a brand especially for stretch marks called "Palmers Stretch Mark Cream". It is also relatively cheap.
ps Congratulations!!

I used Kiehl's Body Massage Oil on my tummy while pregnant--it's the best! I used it liberally after every shower, and was stretchmark-free after delivering. My mom had stretch marks, so I was fully expecting to get them too, so this was huge. Only thing is it's oil, so it gets everywhere. But it's worth it :)

Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula for Stretch Marks. You can find it in the lotion section. Good luck!

Vitamin E oil is what stop scarring like nothing else. Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Oil (Palmer's is my favorite) or plain old Vitamin E oil available at any Drugstore - also fabulous on minor burns, cuts and scrapes.

Try vitamin E oil or coconut oil. Or at Target in the baby section they have a lotion for stretch marks not sure of the name though.

Vitamin E Oil. Just open up the capsule and rub into the stomach. It also helps to lessen scars.
