I always used a normal cream all over then palmers stretch mark on my bump twice a day. Then at the very end bio oil on top!!
@Jenna I second this 🤦🏻♀️ I’m thinking at least this baby has stretch marks to fit into 😂 xx
Nope. Nothing prevents them. I just cared for them after with bio oil
I have bought the weleda but not used it yet. Love the look of the bump butter x
It’s all genetic… unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done. I had absolutely zero stretch marks from my first pregnancy despite my son was born huge at 42 weeks, and I’ve hardly moisturised… used just a bit of argan oil and almond oil when I remembered 😅
Got some bio oil from home bargains today. Gonna put it on every night but stretch marks are genetic, oils and creams themselves don’t prevent them but still worth trying xx
I never got stretch marks, I used the Palmer's stretchmark cream but I'm not sure if it was this that worked or I was just lucky
Yep. Each day after bathing I use palmers oil then top off with palmers stretch mark Lotion.
Even though I know that nothing can prevent stretch marks, I absolutely love the idea of using a cream/oil on the bump as some lovely self care ❤️ will definitely look into some products soon… let us know what you think of those when you try them! What’s the consistency like, and the scent? Always loved Weleda products!
@Kalina ill let you know!
Initial thoughts are.. I like the Weleda Oil! It smells nice but not overpowering and its a nice consistency. The body butter is quite thick and doesnt rub in that easily xx
@Becky amazing thanks for sharing 🥰
I used a thick cream first time round and when I got to about 6 months I was using bio oil and a cream through the day. I have about 3-4 stretch marks above my belly button which aren’t visible now so I’d say it’s great to start early. I also used the bio oil after giving birth to help reduce any marks.
@Becky you’ve officially influenced me! After your post I couldn’t hold myself back and started looking into bump butters to find a favourite, and after looking through lots of different ones I most liked the sound of the two that you bought! Only I got the bump butter from Weleda instead of the oil. Looks like we have the same taste 😂 so excited about trying them!!

@Kalina ah amazing! Let me know what you think when you try them
@Becky tried them both now! The Boots one is ok, quite average but lovely! The Weleda however is just a dream, it reminded me why I fell in love with the brand many years ago. The texture and the scent are just perfection! 🥰 Now I regret not also buying the oil while it was on offer. Now that I checked, it’s back to full price again 🥲
@Kalina aw glad you really like the Weleda one!! Im sure the oil will be on offer somewhere soon.
Mine still looks like a train wreck from my first 🤣 but good shout, do what you can to prevent stretch marks x
