Hey, So I'm getting to that point where bump is just about starting to show and I think I should start using some sort of cream or oil to combat belly stretch marks (not to mention boob and bum stretchmarks!!).
A friend gave me half a bottle of bio-oil she had left over which I started using this week. So far I quite like it, but it is pretty oily and I am not sure how much it's going to end up rubbing off on clothes.
I've also looked a the Palmer's Cocoa Butter stretch mark cream in Boots but the smell is so strong I really don't think it would help my morning sickness.
So, I was wondering what other creams or oils people would recommend. Friends have suggested LUSH or Burt's Bees. But would love to get advice on others.
