Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter

Pros:  Thick consistency, light smell (Shea), moisturizing and a little goes a long way (which means it will last you longer). 

Cons:  It's a bit pricey compared to other options, can be difficult to find if you want to purchase at a retail store (I have only found it at baby speciality stores and if I'm lucky, at Target). Otherwise, I need to buy online.

Price: Approximately $10.38 - $13.00

Review: 

Stretch marks are often a topic of discussion when talking about pregnancy. There's a lot of myths, studies and old wives' tales regarding this topic.  I started moisturizing my belly at about 10 weeks, I had no idea if it would help or not, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.  I decide on Burts Bee Mama Bee Belly Butter based on Amazon online reviews and the fact that it consists of natural ingredients, plus I've always liked Burts Bees products.  As I write this I'm 23 weeks and no stretch marks, at least none so far!  In addition to the Belly Butter, I have also been using Burts Bees Mama Bee Body Oil (I have a separate review on this). 

Overall, I have been satisfied with the product and would recommend it.  I use the belly butter on a daily basis and apply it as part of my nighttime routine.  I'm still on my first container, although I will soon need to purchase more.  I'm not sure if this will truly keep the stretch marks away come 30 + weeks, but I'm going to continue to use it.  Based on family history (assuming this matters), both my mom and sister had stretch marks during pregnancy so "supposedly" I should be getting them.
