The Body shop and, Villa and Hut have agreat range of body butters. My Fav are the vanilla ones. You could also use plain sorbolene and add your own essential oils.

Here is a recipe for an oil rub. I used this every day before putting on a moisturiser.            30ml almond oil, 15ml wheatgerm oil , 10 drops borage seed oil , 5 drops carrot oil.      Shake the oils together before use. You can also add essential oils to this mixture but not more than 15- 18 drops. This is a great blend for stretch marks, not neccessarily preventing them but certainly reduces the severity and discomfort associated with them.

...... it's me again. Sorry. Here is a link to appropriate oils for pregnancy.

not being rude, but why chamomile, frankincense and cedarwood? I used these three oils when i was pregnant all the time and it is a little scary to think they may have been dangerous. I can understand some of the others because they can create excess heat. I know that rose should be avoided being applied for the entire pregnancy. I have done a course in aromatherapy and my job in the past was selling the products of two essential oil companies. I am always looking out for new info. Thanks

Oh , I forgot to mention that these oils can induce labour.
