What creams is everyone using for bump massage?

Mummy_Chooch738 · May 31, 2009 7:16PM

Hi,
I read you shouldn't use strong smelling creams for bump massage. I've got loads of fragrant stuff thats way too strong. So whats everyone else doing? Can anyone recommend any?Thanks x

I have been using bio oil which is Ok, although I really dry skin and it is not moisturing quite enough for me. I also have palmers tummy butter which is good at moisturising but a little greasy, although it moisturises really well so I would recommend it!

Im just using coco butter cream from boots as my midwife told me not to use bio oil as it has rosemary in it which we are meant to avoid or something like that x

Hey,
just went online to look in boots, there seems to be so many different ones. I don't know which one to go with now. Most of them are for stretch marks and just want it to massage bump with. $:\$ )

I love the Palmers, just the regular, bog standard stuff for me! I bought Soap & Glory's cream, which smells like their Clean on Me shower gel, but I've rapidly gone off the smell. It's weird, I loved it before and that's why I bought it, but then I had my morning sickness and I can't stand it!

I use this one from Mothercare:

It's suitable for pregnancy and also for after you've given birth and it smells delicious!

I really like it $:\$ )

Bio Oil in the mornings and Mama Bee Bump Butter at night. I like them both x

I have been using Palmers stretch mark lotion since I was about 20 weeks. I'm now 36+2 and, touch wood, no lines so far! It's also quite cheap ;o)

I use Aqueous Cream. I have a rare skin disorder called Ichthyosis so use Aqueous Cream a lot anyway aside from my prescribed creams. I didn't want to use my prescribed creams on my bump so opted to just use Aqueous for my bump to be on the safe side as it also says on the label that it is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
