It is always good to keep the skin well moisturised. If you do this it will surely help prevent stretch marks. A good cream to use is cocoa or shea butter or a combination of both would be even better.

There is a cream called Trilastin ER. You can find the link on my website: http://www.baby-n-momma.com/discomfortsofpregnancy.php.

I use palmers stretchmark cream and have also tried bio-oil and I still have them coming through

i have stretch marks (just from putting on weight) i have Palmer's Massage lotion for stretch marks and if u use it twice a day it deffenitly fades them slowly and its cheap wich is good xxx

it contains both cocoa and shea butter

I've been using Bio-oil in the bath to help but I also got a sample of Clarins Stretch Mark control cream at Christmas and have been addicted since! It's fab! A bit pricey though but you only need a little bit to go a long way!!
Heard that Cocoa butter is also great - there's so much choice out there. Boots were really helpful with advice xx xx

I'm not pregnant yet but, like polo_princess I use cream too, I use it on my boobies, stomach and thighs just to keep my skyn really well

Bio-oil is the best i think although it is a tad expensive, i dont use it daily im not that big yet but i will do, but i've heard nothing but positive comments about it.

I used Palmers cocoa butter religiously with my first pregnancy and guess what? The only place I didn't put it ...I got major stretch marks. (mostly my butt and thighs) but my tummy and boobs couldn't be smoother. I swear by the stuff! I am using it now with baby 2 and this time I am putting it everywhere!

Soz hunbuti think if your gonna get them you will no matter wot u use. With my first pregnancyi didnt get any on my belly but with mynd ive got a few and i havent done anything different.I put baby oilin my bath both times and also used palmers cocoabutter,

I used cocoa butter from day one on my last pregnancy and didnt get any stretchmarks, this time im doing the same and dont have any so far !
My mum was covered in them when she was pregnant so i rubbed in cream from the start and i guess it worked !
