Its probably been asked many times before but when should i start using creams to prevent stretch marks? And which ones do you recommend?

thanks in advance

My mate told me about one she got in Australia called Bio Oil (think you can get it in UK as well). She says it is fab. It comes in a little bottle. I am going to get some when I go home next.

Use as soon as you want to. I started using bio oil the day I found out I was pregnant (:
Bio oil is alot more expensive than palmer coco butter but Id say both work well and coco butter smells so nice!

I use palmers coco butter and this clinica tissue oil ( cheap version of bio oil LOL!!)

I'm not going to fork out £15 for a small bottle of bio oil, none of these creams really work, if we're going to get stretchmarks we will so i just keep moisturized and thats the most you can do really!

All you need is olive oil...

Coconut oil is supposed to work wonders, it is good stuff for other things so I wouldnt desbelieve it working against stretch marks.

I've started to keep my belly area really well moisturised, although I'm just using normal body cream at the moment, I might get some better stuff later on. But like others have said, if you're gonna get them, then you'll get them - unfortunately there isn't anything to prevent them, just make them fade better/quicker.

I started using stuff the day I found out, hee hee. I had bio oil already (buy it from the states or canada, so much cheaper) and I'm using palmers pregnancy cream too. I put it on my tummy, boobs (not nipples as can make itching worse) and thighs.
