Probably this topic has been up 1000+++ times.....
BUT as a 1st time mom, I'm very concern about the stretch marks.... I know genetics has A LOT to do with it... but what kind of lotions do you think help out the best?

I think, none will help out at all. It's all genetics and how quickly you gain the weight.0

Lotions make your skin feel nice but won't help sorry x0

I'm using Burt's Bees Belly Butter. I don't particularly think that it will prevent me from getting stretch marks, but I figure that keeping my skin moisturized while it's stretching definitely won't hurt - and may make the stretching more comfortable! So far, no stretch marks. My mom has a roadmap on her belly after having 4 kids so I have no illusions that this will be the magic balm to prevent it, though :happy:0

Not sure anything works 100%. Either you've got really elastic skin or you don't! I'm up 23 lbs (having the kid in 5 days!) and have way more than my cousin who gained over 60 lbs.
I was using baby oil in the shower for the longest time, because if felt nice.0 -
I used Palmer's with my first, gained 52 pounds and didn't have a stretch mark. I'm using it with baby #2 with the hopes that I'll get the same results, sans gaining 52 pounds!0
