and holy crap! Steer clear pregnant people! The smell is horrible!
I still use it but I have to breathe through my mouth and spray body mist afterwards.

Knock on wood I didn't get any stretch marks with adriana besides for like three on my inner thighs that are white and unnoticeable.
My stomach is just getting bigger and bigger by the minute- so I don't think I'll be so fortunate with this one. |

I bought Johnson's Baby Gel Oil with cocoa butter and it seems pretty moisturizing. The smell is relatively non-offensive too.
I tried Burt's Bee's apricot oil but the smell was too overwhelming. I have a friend who really likes Bio Oil but the price tag for that is a little too steep for me. |

I think the key ingredient is to start moisturizing the minute you know you are pregnant. I stated using Palmer's cocoa butter and once i ran out i
switched to the old school cocoa butter lotion and i am amazed that i haven't gotten any "new" stretchmarks with this 2nd pregnancy.
I usually slap on a pretty good layer of lotion at night and just massage it until it's all consumed.

yeah this belly balm is so thick. It reminds me of crisco. You could pour water down yourself and it would bead off.

Try buying a bottle of pure liquid Vitamin E and use it every night.

I was so in denial with the 1st pregnancy. i thought i would never get stretchmarks. then comes month 5 and over night, i wake up to find like 5 or 6! I was so
upset i tried everything. i even bought the pure Vitamin E. I swear all my clothes had a round grease stain from the belly.
unfortunately none of it
worked. at one point i gave up... now i don't mind them so much. i got used to them.
