Olive Oil?

I was told to use olive oil on myself to prevent stretchmarks,  I am now 33+5 and NO STRETCHMARKS! I don't know if it is from the olive oil or just my skin.... Has anyone else ever heard of this or used olive oil???

That will not prevent stretch marks, it's genetics, you can try it but honestly the only thing that all the lotions and creams and oils do is help them from itching as bad but if it runs on your mom and /or dads side you will get them regardless... I thought I was in the clear cuz my mom had twins and didn't get a single stretch mark but I got them... Turns out they run on my dads side

It will not help them go away. Only prevent.  Olive Oil is vitamin e which conditions the skin and allows it to stretch.
