what products work best for stretch marks during pregnancy?

Answer 1

Try Cocoa Butter, also I always see ads for creams, I don't know if they work, but I guess you can always ask for a refund if is doesn't http://www.stretch-mark.net

Answer 2

I used coco butter during my pregnancy religiously, but if you have seen my belly you would think that I used nothing. I am riddled in stretch marks. I have been told that it will depend on your skins elasticity. If you are going to get them, you are going to get them, there is nothing you can do unfortunately. I am 39+ weeks pregnant with my second child and the stretch marks have stretched even more since the first and this time round I used vitamin E cream. Good Luck, you can only try and see if it works for you, nothing is guaranteed.

Answer 3

I didn't use anything during my first pregnancy, and didn't get any stretch marks on my belly. Got some on my breasts and thighs, though. I'm 38 weeks now with #2 and have gained more weight, but no new stretch marks. I've met people who never got any and other who got tons. It's genetic.

Answer 4

Palmers Cocoa Butter! Hands down. Helps with the stretching itch too. Nothing can help you prevent stretch marks though. I used baby oil and cocoa butter through both pregnancies and stretched to hell and back. I carried two 9lb babies though and was like 115 lbs myself to start LOL

Answer 5

I have put Palmers Cocoa butter on my stomach everyday since I found out I was pregnant and I dont have one stretch mark! But then again, Nothing can keep you can getting them. I think if I didn't use the lotion I would have stretch marks but....I dont so I believe in it.

Answer 6

This doesn't sound to good but I used Bag Balm. It's in a green can and it's sometimes in the pet department cause it's actually used for cows udders. It's the texture of vaseline. I used it for both of my pregnancies. I rubbed it on my belly every night and I have not one stretch mark.

Answer 7

I bought something called Mothers Friend, you but it in the pharmacy it costs around 10 dollars a bottle but it worked for me! no stretch marks!!

Answer 8

Stretch marks are genetic and there is no way to prevent or lighten them Im afraid. Dont waste your money.
