what are you rubbing on your bump?

[Little Miss Joslyn]

I want to get something to start rubbing on my tummy to help prevent stretchmarks.
What are you all using?

Mum to be sanctury
Clarins tonic oil
Decleor sculpting oil
Bio oil
Cocoa butter
anything else !
nothing!

started off with the 'body shop' cocoa butter moisterising stick and when that finished went onto the AVENT indulgent body cream and touch wood still no marks yet!!!!!

bio oil is meant to be the best thing to get to avoid stretchmarks.

I've not bothered this time, no point shutting the barn gate when the horse has already bolted

AVENT indulgent body cream, it smells soooo yummy!

 

[Vickyleigh]

I've got some cocoa butter but so far I have been lucky and haven't had any stretch marks so I haven't used it yet.

As much as I'd like to help, I can't!

Apparently if stretch marks run int he family, there ain't no way you can prevent them coming with creams.

But! To say the least, a few friends used Vasaline cream or E45 and it worked just as well as these stretch mark things.

I have been pretty lazy and used bio oil twice last week which was a rubbish effort I know but I always forget!

Havent got any so far but I have some on my hips which I have had since puberty but funnily my Mum hasn't got any and she had 3 kids

Must remember to use bio oil every day!!!

 

[OopsyDaisy]

I'm not using anything, can't be bothered to and because there's no evidence to back-up the use of creams/lotions to prevent stretchmarks. So far so good, haven't seen any yet.

Nothing! yet anyway. with first pregnancy I was sooooo good used johnsons baby lotion twice a day and coco butter and had no strech marks. This time I have no time and shower in seconds and get ready (before Abbie gets into things!) and I noticed I have my first strech mark in the middle of my bump! So going to get the cream out! Palmers coco butter smells so yummy...

Palmers cocoa butter and body shop body butters-mostly coconut. No stretch marks at 35+ weeks and an absolutely huge bump!

I am using Champneys mum to be shower gel and stretch mark cream in the morning and before I go to bed I spray a little baby oil on my bump. I only got a few little stretch marks on my hips with my last pregnancy but I am using more stuff this time round. Not sure why really, but I think if I can prevent them coming out I will feel better about myself - sounds pretty pathetic I guess11

decleor arromesscence oil and the decleor arromesscence sculpting cream. you have to use them together for it to work, thats £35 each but i bought mine when i was 10 weeks, i use it religiously every day and i still have half left in each bottle. it smells so like citrus, its gorgeous. my skin looks better than before i was pregnant!!

definately reccomend it, im gonna use it forever i think! no marks yet and my tummy used to be flat, im carrying it all out front, my tummy has stretched so much. im impressed! i have marks on my legs from when i grew up so i am prone but my skin looks smooth and peachy! if i dont use it it feels tight and itchy so its doing something right.

fingers crossed! stretchys stay away!

 

[jayla's mummy]

as soon as i found out i was pregnant i started to use cocco butter and lucky enough i havent had any yet....maybe i shouldnt talk so soon hehe

I bought some Palmer cocoa butter and sometimes use it, sometimes use the Body Shop one. I don't really do it to avoid stretch marks though because I know I can't, but it feels and smells nice and the smell will always remind me of my bump x
