Medical Review (2022)

Are you getting ready for a new treatment regimen for your newly pregnant belly? If so, you may start to consider swapping out your regular beauty products, for skincare products that are safe and healthy for you and your baby.

As your body goes through the changes associated with pregnancy, your skin will need some extra TLC too! In fact, you may also be looking for specific skincare products that can help you prevent and treat some unwelcome surprises!

It was in my first pregnancy that I learned about pregnancy stretch marks. I also learned that there are as many types and colors of stretch marks as there are women. They are all unique depending on multiple factors, such as skin color, genetics, type, size, texture, and pliability. They also come with some psychological effects and may impact your body image and quality of life.

That said, it makes sense that you’d want to look at a safe and effective pregnancy stretch mark prevention and treatment regimen.

If you’re looking for products and practices that can help alleviate the appearance and the unwelcome side effects of stretch marks, this post is for you!

We’ll look at a popular stretch mark cream called Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter. This is a cream that I researched extensively during my own pregnancy when I was coming up with a new pregnancy skin-care routine to treat my pregnancy stretch marks. 

Turns out there’s a lot to know about belly butter and what it's actually used for.

I’ve pulled all this research together for you to help you save time, money, better understand the product, and to see if it’s a good fit for you. In this post, you'll also learn how and when to use it, and I'll give you some awesome, and effective treatments to use in conjunction with belly butter!

Let’s get to it…

Review by Professionals


I'm Kristi Cartwright. I've been using this every other day throughout my pregnancy and 34 weeks in I don't have any stretch marks on my belly. I'm on my second tub and it's great. It's relaxing to put on and the smell does not bother me at all.

Will My Pregnancy Stretch Marks Ever Go Away?

The truth is, is that there's not much you can do to prevent pregnancy stretch marks, especially since a majority of pregnancy stretch marks are genetic.

However, the most effective form of prevention is gaining weight slowly and staying within the recommended pregnancy weight gain amount.

Also, stretch marks naturally fade. While they will never completely disappear unless intervention is taken, it is possible to fade them sooner by decreasing inflammation and deeply moisturizing the skin.
