first and foremost, there is no such thing as a perfect bump. Remember a lot of people put on Photoshop for their pictures when they post the pictures of their belly. I personally have a bunch of scars on my belly from a prior surgery, but I do notice that my skin feels a lot better if I put some vitamin E with the cocoa butter that I moisturize my belly with

I use cocoa butter and cocoa butter oil. Also a collagen cream for stretch marks.

Get the belly lotion tbe palmar I think and they also have the oil I try to do some days oil and some days lotion I been doing it at night only but I am try start doing it every morning too since I am past 20 week

I use Bio oil and cocoa butter specifically for my stretch marks, morning and night. I also use baby oil after I shower and a regular body lotion. Have used baby oil for my entire life and I feel like it does a really great job at keeping my skin moisturized.

This looks like a perfect bump to me šš I got a ton of oils from Amazon from the brand cliganic and asked ChatGPT to make me a recipe lol. I also have pure cocoa butter that I rub on my tummy BUT the brand vivvi& bloom baby lotion actually has been life changing for me to help take away my eczema bumps on my arms and belly!

Second the bio oil-cocoa butter combo. Keeps your skin moisturized and supple all day. I never got stretch marks when I used this combo with my first baby years ago and kept using it after baby arrived as well and minimized my c-section scaring to where only a 1/3 of it is visible now. Even old scars have actually started fading (still there but not as visible)!
Def check with your doc though cause it does have added vit A but mine said the levels arenāt enough to cause concern.

Aside from the recommended products, do your best to embrace your baby bod⦠all shapes sizes bumps and wrinkles are a part of this process and nobodyās belly is perfect. Try tending to yourself more and getting into some self love. š your belly is beautiful

Just a reminder, honeybees, stretch marks are genetically passed down. Donāt feel like your body isnāt perfect because for that little baby, you are their perfect match.ļæ¼ You canāt still try & prevent stretch marks but be proud of them because itās a physical reminder what our amazing bodies can do!
I have my battle scars too but I do moisturize as much as I can. I used the Palmers stretch mark lotion with the healing therapy oil & had my fire belly too! This time around Iām using only 100% cocoa butter (can be found at a local beauty supply store or at an African shop) itās soo nourishing & moisturizing, with hopes of being able to enjoy, what I think is the loveliest smell š«¶
