what lotion is helpful for stretchmarks or most recommended????

No lotion is guaranteed. Stretch marks, and whether you get them or not, has a lot to do with genetics and the elasticity of your skin. But staying well-hydrated can help, and some people swear by vitamin E oil or shea butter.

Agree,,, I used EVERY oil, lotion, you name it,,, & I still got them! I worked out the entire pregnancy & I was never overweight but if one is overweight,  I think that that might set her up, because the skin has already been stretched before! Ha! Grrr

 I also only gained 25 lbs & didn't ever really get huge like some women do! I was maaad! But I'm over it now,,, they aren't that bad,,,, but chances are, if your mom or grandma has them, you might too ,,,

I used Palmers for my first two pregnancies and using the tummy butter for this one.

Everything that I have read said that there is no way to prevent them. The only thing lotion does is relieve the itchiness from the skin stretching. However, I'll probably try mederma stretch mark cream or something if I do get some. I figure it can't hurt!

I use any thick creams. I like Lay It On Thick by Bath and Body works.. But lotions/creams are 100%.. you have to make sure you dont have rapid weight gain too.

I bought pure vitamin E oil from the vitamin shoppe and I first put some stretch mark lotion on my hand then add a dime sized glob of the oil over it then rub them both on my belly, boobs and butt. So far so great.
