I started using this oil at 6 weeks and it was my first pregnancy. I rubbed this stuff on each morning and before bed, i also kept a bottle at my office and in my purse just in case my skin felt dry or in any way itchy. I made every effort to not scratch when itchy. Yes, all kinds of factors have a roll in whether or not women get stretch marks and everyone is different. Here are my details- i was 33 years old when i was pregnant and my mother and my other female relatives all have gotten stretch marks from pregnancy, i also gained 35 lbs.I did NOT get a single stretch mark during my pregnancy and i will buy this oil again when the second bun is in the oven.

I really love this product. I can't say that I'm sure it prevents stretch marks - but I'm sure in combination with other things, it helps! I am 3 months postpartum now and I don't have a stretch mark in sight! I gained 55 lbs during pregnancy, originally starting at 130 lbs and have naturally dry skin so I was quite concerned I might get stretch marks. Also, this stretch oil SMELLS amazing! It's the reason I still use it now even though I'm not stretching anymore. I think if you do the following you have a good chance of coming away stretch-mark free:1. Drink A LOT of water2. Have lots of healthy fats in your diet (avocado)3. Use this product4. Exercise as much as possible (yoga, walking, light strength training) and5. Think happy thoughts. ;) Read more

I slightly prefer this over the Burt's Bees Belly Butter. It goes on smoother and I like the pump. You also get more for your money. My only complaint would be that the smell is slightly sweet, but overall pleasant enough. Read more

I waited a full year to write this review because I wanted to be fair. I started using this at 10 weeks and up to 3 months after delivery. I gained an avg of 1 lb a week and used this oil morning and night. I'm glad to report that I didn't get a single stretch mark. I did work out until about 36 weeks, but this oil was a miracle worker as to how I didn't get stretch marks. Those are genetic and I got them on my hips as a teenager, so this stuff works. I gifted this to all my friends that recently got pregnant. Also, Amazon has the best price on this! Read more

* Mrs. Cochran - I really like this body butter. It leaves a light lemony scent. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it leaves a greasy residue. Doesn't completely absorb. But it definitely makes my growing belly feel supple Read more

I was using a much more expensive oil for the first two trimesters of my pregnancy, which worked fine (as in no stretch marks). I am so happy I found this oil as it is priced well (less than 1/3 of the price of the other oil I was using) and works just as well. I like the light smell, and that it absorbs well so it doesn't leave you feeling greasy or not wanting to put your clothes on. I have also used the other Earth Mama products and highly recommend them! I have very dry skin and eczema and haven't had any issues with their products. I am also prone to stretch marks and haven't gotten any using this product! Read more

I started using this lotion that I received as a gift with my first pregnancy. Later on I bought the oil as well. Used lotion in the morning and oil before bed! Great, not overwhelming scent, and absorbs very well. Used the same combo for my second pregnancy and no stretch marks either. I started using the combo from the day I found out I was expecting. I would recommend to any mama to be! Read more

Love! Wow, I am honestly impressed. Smells good, like orange zest, but isn't strong. I use it head to toe and feel good I'm not putting harsh chemicals on my skin. I'm pregnant now but will probably continue to use postpartum. Makes me want to look into this brand's other offerings. Read more
