So the cream I used during my first two pregnancies is now longer on the market, I was wondering what cream people are using. Would love some suggestions, not too keen on anything strongly perfumed. Thanks!

I used Bio Oil - not that it helped that much because DS was so huge but it did help them fade a bit I think.
I used Mama Bee Belly Butter. Absolutely sensational. Used it probably 2-3 times a week and didn't get a stretch mark. Hoping it works magic again this time!
I used a bit of BioOil during my son's pregnancy, but I've read that there's actually nothing that really works to stop stretch marks. Apparently nothing topical actually penetrates deep enough to prevent stretch marks if you are going to get them (though not all woman are prone to them).
Nothing will stop you from getting stretch marks, but using a lotion or whatever can help with itching and you skins recovery and help repair itself afterwards. I'd recommend Bio Oil too, because it's for scarring which is essentially what a stretch mark is.
Coconut oil?
bio oil.
Clarins tonic body oil is amazing. I use it - no stretchmarks yet- and other friends have used it and avoided any at all. I also think the trick is to make sure you are applying whatever you decide to use at least twice a day and are really massaging it in. I think that some skins may be more prone to stretchmarks but others can be avoided or at least minimized by regular application of a highly toning and moisturising product as this will keep the skin supple thus elastic and not as prone to stress.
I am also layering the Mustela cream over my Clarins but many friends just used the Clarins on its own.
I used the bodyshop miracle oil through both pg, no stretch marks where I used it (though I have them in other places so I am susceptible)
In fact, to this day the skin on my belly is still the softest
