16 Pregnancy Products We Couldn't Live Without — Seriously!

"There are conflicting thoughts out there about stretch marks during pregnancy and whether any oil or cream can really prevent them. But I figured it couldn't hurt to load up on the moisturizer as my belly grew, and my research led me to this Belli Elasticity Belly Oil ($34). It contains gotu kola, an herb that may help boost collagen production, plus vitamin E, almond oil, and grapeseed oil. Its lavender scent makes me feel like I'm at the spa when I slather it on, and I love that it's free of phthalates, parabens, and other stuff I don't want my growing baby to absorb." — MH
