Is Coco Butter or Vitamin E Oil/Lotion better for preventing stretch marks.?

I am 14 weeks along, and I'm starting to show. So I want to start putting stuff on my skin now. I didn't get bad stretch marks my first pregnancy (6 years ago), but I don't know if I'll be so lucky the second time around.

Is Coco Butter or Vitamin E Oil/Lotion better for preventing stretch marks.?
CoCo Butter is the best but they have this stuff at the store called Palmers CoCo Butter for Stretch Marks and its made for pregnant women to use during and after there pregnancy and it works very good ive used it and it works..
Reply:You can try to prevent them. But if you are going to have them, You will have them ..





I had none threw my pregnancy. None at all. It was when I went into labor. I got them .
Reply:This is my second and I haven't gotten any fresh stretch marks with this one and I am 36 weeks now. But cocoa butter is best
Reply:No cream lotion or oil will prevent stretch marks, you are genetically destined to get them or not. The lotion will help the dry skin and itching though.





congratz and good luck :)
Reply:Actually the best way to REDUCE the amount is by staying well hydrated. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.





Genetics is only real factor on whether or not you get them.





Best of luck!!
Reply:Doesnt really matter. I used cocoa butter throughout my entire first pregnancy and at week 38/39 I ended up with stretch marks. Ofcourse then my dr let me go 10 days over, so they were hideous, but basically if your destined to get them, you will! No cream or oil will prevent them 100%.
Reply:Coca butter to prevent (it softens the skin and makes it a little more pliable) and Vitamin E to reduce the appearance. My sister gave me a bottle of Palmer's Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. It contains Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Collagen, and Elastin. I love it so far.





(I am also 14 weeks)
Reply:Yes, I used them with my first pregnancy and not with my second, big mistake. Palmers cocoa and shea butter a must have for preventing stretch marks.
Reply:Most cant prevent but......... I always used olive oil. It balances the ph in your body whick is what keeps your skin hydrated
Reply:helps but they still happen sorry, BUT my wife has them we have going on 3 kids and I think shes smokin
