last pregnancy I used bio oil and palmers butter from about 14 weeks. I managed to get to 39 weeks with only one tiny mark but once I hit 39 they erupted all over my stomach (and some of my thighs). I wasn't even that big. they don't bother me mind. now they are just silver lines

it's worth trying lotions and potions but I don't really think they work

I used bio oil when I reached 2nd tri but to be honest it didn't work I was covered in stretchmarks by the end of my pregnancy.

Same here. I used bio oil but towards the end my belly expanded so much that I was left with some stretch marks anyway. If you are meant to get them you will anyway no matter what cream you use x

From what I’ve read about stretch marks, there’s not much you can do, either your skin is the type to get them or not. I’ve got stretch marks on my hips and boobs from puberty so I’m fully expecting to get them during pregnancy. Sorry I know that’s not very helpful. An oil or cream will be helpful though in making the skin feel less tight and itchy when it really starts to stretch. I would just try some out and use what you prefer. I’m continuing to use my normal moisturiser which is the righteous butter from the soap and glory range at boots, which I love.

I used bio oil too with palmers cocoa butter. But ended up covered by about 34 weeks. My bump was tiny until then and it was like I exploded.

They do go down though. And Ive found bio oil was much more effective after pregnancy. I had a friend who did the same before me and she never had one stretchmark. She was huge. So it seems youll get them or you wont xx
