Body Butter from The Body Shop. I used twice daily from early pregnancy and didn't get a single stretch mark!

Also don't eat for 2!

Nice & its not to expensive & yes that too😄

I use bump oil from Weleda, it was a gift but it's really lovely. You could also use bio oil

I used sweet almond oil and didn't get any stretch marks in my first pregnancy. Using it again now in my second pregnancy (currently 30weeks) and no stretch marks so far....

What brand ? & thank you ☺️

I tried every possible cream/butter/oil and still got them. I think it's more about your skin type than anything else. But you never know, there might be a chance I would have had more of them without. Sorry, not very helpful

First pregnancy I was much younger and thought my skin would be fine so didn't use anything. Ended up with a few stretch marks. This time I've been applying Mama Bee's Belly Butter almost every day since 12 weeks (now 34) and I don't have any new marks. Would definitely recommend.

I used everything when pregnant and still ended up looking like a zebra! I now use a product called Body Love by Tropic Skincare which is natural and vegan so very gentle on your skin and my marks are fading brilliantly! (If you private message me your address im happy to send you a little sample tub of it to try). Xx
