Hi! I was just given some Emu Oil and Lanolin Cream by a friend who recently came back from a holiday.
Anyone have any advice if it's safe to use emu oil and lanolin cream on my tummy to prevent stretchmarks?
Thanks  |

Hi vone
That's a good idea! I'll bring my bottle with me to my gynae appt next week so she can read the 'ingredients' listed
I've read so many good things about Emu Oil. It seems it's good for carpal tunnel and muscle aches too!
Thanks |

Hi,
Oils are better than creams for stretch marks...my dear Aussie friend has recommended me to try LM Naturals stretch mark oil as she swears by it.
Is Emu Oil good enough? Im into my 2nd trimester & i really want a highly effective one! heh

I've been using my Emu Oil diligently and am just past my 24th week. So far no signs of stretch marks (fingers crossed!) - it runs in my family and comes on pretty early in pregnancy so I've been really worried about that.
I don't know where to get it in Sg yet but I know I'm going to be needing another bottle before junior pops Once I find it I'll post the info rightaway! |

Just got the clarin oil but really felt the pain in my wallet.. Bought another stretch mark balm from L'occitance known as "Mom & Baby Balm". Intend to use this during day time cos' I dont think I will have time to apply the clarin oil in the morning. So the clarin oil just for night time... Spent almost $100 in total for both product today.. 
Is the emu oil expensive? If the price is right I am really interested to get it after I finish the clarin oil. |

Lynette,
I applied Galenic Elancyl stretch mark cream towards the latter part of my pregnancy. It's not so much because for the stretch marks but more so for the stretching of the skin at the abdomen which causes a lot of itch as the baby grows. Every morning, I applied the cream on the abdomen and if we go to shopping centres, I applied more as the skin tends to be drier. I remembered how I had to find fitting rooms to scratch the tummy. |

Hi LiLacz,
Thanks for letting me know about that. I will go Chinatown next time to buy the clarins oil.
Hi Lynette,
Yup. Alot of my friends says that too. But, i think I just have to do something whether it helps or not. Kiasu :p Anyway, I think apply the oil or moisturiser helps to hydrate the skin such that it doesn't itch that much. So I think at least in will help alittle, may it be just a psychological thinggi... hee hee. |

hi Lyn
i think whether it works or not it's good to try. During my first and second trimester i was lazy in applying the stretch mark cream and then i thought my mother doesn't have it so evry likely i wouldn't have. WHo knows in my 3rd trimester everything popped out and i got plenty of the stretch marks.
Then my gynae was tleling me it has not been proven that stretch mark cream can cure stretch marks....so probably it would only lighten and not make it that obvious but it will not cause it to disappear.
But my advise is if want to start start early. During first trimester can start applying dutifully everyday...dun be like me into last trimester then i regret... |

I think more or less it helps abit cuz it gives the skin some moisture as it stretches. Just like our face, sometimes without moisturiser, its so tight and the dryness may cause lines.I rather be safe than sorry. :p Have started applying since i know im preg at 5th week or 6th week till today (3rd trimester) diligently. Morning and night.So far so good. *touch wood* |

Hi lynette,
My gynae also said the same thing. Buy stretch mark cream or oil no use one, no need waste money. Just apply baby lotion or baby oil can already. Actually olive oil is the best (according to both my malay massage woman and gynae's nurse) but only if you can stand the oily icky feeling haha i only applied baby lotion throughout my pregnancy once a day at night on my belly and thighs, thankfully not a single stretchmark, heng ah! |

Hi all,
I agree with Lynette & Mummy2B too.. It's all in the genes.. with this believe, I didn't apply any cream for my 1st.
For my present 2nd, me experiencing chilling cold during most nights so I am now using "Natalie Prenatal Massage Oil Aromatherapy".
Extract from the bottle itself :
Directions
Massage this blend of rich nut oils and soothing essential oils into abdomen to soften and condition skin, into tops of shoulders and base of spine, ankles and feet to soothe muscles.
Ingredients
Sesame, sweet almond, grapeseed oils, vit E, rose geranium/tangerine/geranium essential oil.
Believe this is the best, as it can eliminate stretch mark, relax the muscles especially the leg-cramps during the last trimester and also to keep body warm. Can easily find the oil in any pharmacy in hospitals. The promoter is well-trained and will assist you.. (I got a 10mins free demo massage too - shiok).. |

The one from mothercare isn't really effective.
Initially I used the one from mothercare, but stretchmarks still came. Then my gynea recommended one and the stretchmarks reduced in size ... it's from France and not really that ex. |

Didn't use Clarins as it's rather expensive.
But I have develop lots of stretchmark from the 8th month though I applied oil, cream and lotion religiously 2X a day. Think my BB grows too fast for my tummy to handle. |

i noe it says tt the oil is safe 4 use during pregnancy. and many ladies r using it. but juz happened to find out one of the ingredients is not recommended, and coz of the "stimulating" term. i guess its all up to individual. perhaps best to check wif ur gynae. |

You may want to try Eucerin ph5 for sensitive skin, Intensive lotion. It is non greasy and easily absorbed to the body.
As the tummy stretch, it may become dry and we know dry skin always cause itchness. The more we scratch, the skin become more itchy. The lotion is to keep the skin moist. |

From what I know, Clarins Treatment Oil has 3 ranges, used during pregnancy (Tonic), post-delivery (Anti-Eau)and another for firming.
"tonic" http://sg.clarins.com/main.cfm?prodID=65
"Anti-Eau" http://sg.clarins.com/main.cfm?prodID=66
Got terrible itch on my tummy and elephant feet during the last few weeks, I applied "tonic" as and when i feel like it. I poured into small little glass roll-on bottle, it's very handy.
I bought from SaSa the cosmetic shop, alternative is ask friend(s) who travel to buy from airport DFS counters. |

hey all... you can try our aloe propolis creme which is a rich moisturiser and recommended by 1 mummy in previous post. for really dry skin (more likely to hv stretch marks), you can use our aloe serum, the Alpha-E.
Aloe Propolis Creme
- 100% stabilized aloe vera gel & bee propolis
- Added chamomile & comfrey, Vitamins A & E
- Skin Moisturizer & conditioner
- Gentle enough to use on most skin types, especially useful for dry skin
- Propolis is a natural antibiotic, helps speed up healing
- Leaves protective barrier on skin & heals scars, brown spots, stings, bites, acne, eczema
Alpha-E Factor
- rich blend of ingredients to provide optimal skin conditioning and nourishing
- most ideal for preventing stretch marks
- superb combination of powerful anti-oxidants
both are very safe for pregnancies as they are aloe vera based, and contains no alcohol.
pls see http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/cgi-bin/forumboard/show.cgi?tpc=450761&post=2032668#POST2032668
thanx, are. |

Hi to all,
actually it doesnt matter which brand of cream we use, as long as we keep the skin mositurized, have enough hydration ( very impt ), we can minimize the ugly marks... its important to start applying n drinking early though.dry skin tend to b itchy. |

Hi,
I tried Mustella during my 1st pregnancy. I guess it is too oily for me and my skin has breakouts. Now for my 2nd pregnancy, I switched to Palm's Coco Butter. It is non-greasy and my skin around tummy appear to be much fairer as I have rashes previously.
Hope this helps! |

I was allergic to Palmers stretchmark cream..little bumps like pimples appear on my tummy after i applied it...so i did not use any stretchmarks cream at all throughout my pregnancy...but on and off when i wasnt too lazy, i applied johnson and johnson lotion...I was lucky that i did not have any stretchmarks at all...and yes, i think its due to genes too...my mum, after having 3 children did not have any stretchmarks on her tummy too |

Anyone tried using Johnson's Baby oil? I heard from a couple of friends who have delivered and have no stretch marks... They swear by it and introduce me to use it. It's considerably a much cheaper and practical option.
Has anyone used baby oil and has the same effects?? |

I religiously rubbed Palmer's Cocoa Butter every evening after shower throughout my pregnancy and I don't have any stretch marks at all on my tummy. Maybe it helped but maybe it's good genes from my mom who also does not have any stretch marks after giving birth |
