I hate cocoa butter. I used a cream called Happy Event, costs about $5.50. You can get it at chemists, or from an online pharmacy. Very little smell to it.

My mum recommended it - she used it with all 3 of her pregnancies and never got stretch marks. Neither did I. I know some people say the tendency to stretch marks is hereditary but I got stretchmarks as a teenager when I put on a lot of weight quickly, so I am prone to them...but not one stretch mark from pregnancy.

I guess I'll never know if it was good luck or good management but I will be using Happy Event next time around, most definitely.
