Stretch mark
Hello fellow mum-to-be, is there any way to minimise stretch mark during pregnancy? Or any recommended oil or cream to apply on tummy? Thanks

I use to use palmer coco butter for my first child, I had bad rash in my 8th month and still got stretch mark. For my 2nd pregnancy I use frankincense essential oil from young living, apply once or twice everyday until now no increase marks spotted or redness, the black line below my belly button are light also. Went for my recent maternity photography the photographer mention my tummy looks good!

Now currently expecting my second, I used Clarins during the first and second trim.. Switched to Mustela stretch mark oil, cream and serum. Applied both morn and night. At least no new stretch marks... Cross my fingers..

There's alot of stretch mark oil n cream in the market like bio oil, Palmers, mustela. The key is to apply it diligently from second trimester onwards and even after birth. It helps to minimise
Hi mummy check out my link I've shared this before. https://community.theasianparent.com/q/when-i-found-im-pregnant-i-start-using-stretch-marks-cream1st-trimesters/847833?d=android&ct=q&share=true
Thanks for sharing :)
I use normal lotions now, Still works at second trimester, will switch to oils in the third. Can apply to all places that are prone to stretching like tummy, back, thighs, butts
I am using bio oil and clarins oil now..need to start applying earlier when i am 1st trimester now ,this is what my cousin told me .If later stage will be abit late for it.
Recommend Mustela brand anti stretch cream to apply from 2nd trimester onwards all the way to a few months after delivery. So far it works for me.
Drinking enough water may help keep your skin hydrated and soft. Soft skin doesn’t tend to develop stretch marks as much as dry skin does.
I’m applying Clarins stretch mark cream & oil on belly and breast, and bio oil on thigh and butt
I used pregnancy oils! I find thick creams too sticky for tropical weather
