What’s the best thing for stretch marks?

Getting a few stretch marks at 32 weeks, been using a bit of moisturiser, any recommendations for anything good to use? Or is it best to wait until baby is here then put something on?

I’ve been using a secret saviours day and night creams and the cowshed oils

I tried it all and nothing worked for me lol, they got worse after little man was here and my stomach went down however in the months after they lightened so much! Now popping again as I’m pregnant with number two😂

Ultimately it just comes down to your genetics. You can use daily lotion, but your skin is going to do what it's going to do.

Genetics are the biggest factor. However I used 100% shea butter on my belly every night after the shower. I use Belli pregnancy stretch mark oil with it and during the day, as well as Beef Tallow. Currently 39 weeks with my third and I’ve never had a stretch mark. I’m sure it’s a mix of genetics and moisturizing. Don’t forget hydration from inside is super important. Drink ALL THE WATER lol

I 100% agree re: genetics. My friends swear by bio oil and I’ve been applying it religiously day and night and still you need to see the state of my stretch marks (I’m currently 40+ weeks and I think they started appearing around 32-33 weeks for me). 🤣 My mum has terrible stretch marks so I’m not surprised. I’m hoping they fade but I’d say anything hydrating or any lotion you like should be good!

You can use all the lotion you want, it's genetics. After my pregnancy I read about microneedling the stretchmarks which seemed to have helped some women.
