I’d be careful with putting lotion on your breasts later in pregnancy..atleast on the nipples-you don’t want to stimulate them to the point where you are having contractions. You can use vitamin E and Aloe lotions-they really help with itchiness and dry skin you might get. I’ve heard Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula lotion is good, but I really like Vaseline Intensive Moisture with Cucumber scent; it smells fresh and makes you feel nice and clean, not greasy. I do have some stretchmarks, but I had them before pregnancy and they did worsen a little bit, but the lotion really helps.

You can use just about any lotion or cream you want, but don’t expect it to prevent stretchmarks. You will either get them or your won’t, it depends on your genetics, your skin’s natural elasticity. No lotion or cream can stop them from happening, despite the claims they may make.
