With the stretch marks I think they are hereditary. Yes we do use oils but they do not completely prevent them.if ur family has them u r mist likely ti have them as well because some have stretch marks yet they dont hav kids.

33 weeks and no stretch marks. I've been using "mothers friend" its a moisturizer. Absolutely love it. I tried getting it through the pharmacy and even looking for it at the drug stores but couldn't find it. So if you're interested look for it online. :) its been around for a long time.

It's always good to moisturize but stretch marks are inevitable. They are hereditary! I always used coconut oil which made my skin feel better. I already had my baby and my stretch marks are barely visible now

I've heard coconut oil, olive oil, vitamin e.. I personally use a Lufa and dove for sensitive skin every day on my belly to help with the stretching.
