I don't think there's a way to advoid them. They run in family's some people get them and some don't. I used cocoa butter and oils my entire pregnancy and still got them on the lower half of my belly. But if u want try the creams and oils (bio oil) or other stuff you can find in the lotion section of the store. I even tried special stuff u could only order over the phone. I hope that you don't get stretch marks I mean nobody wants them but if u do get them you will get use to it, when I'm done having kids and can ever save enough money surgery can get rid of them but I'm not to worried about it.

Drink lots of water !! Keeping hydrated really helps don't get me wrong I have a few stretch marks but nothing major when my son was 5 mos u couldn't even see them unless u knew they was there I'm now 37 wks preg w my 2nd and have no new o es and u still really can't see my old ones .. I also used lotions as soon as I'd get out of the shower I don't use a specific lotion either and I gained 85lb my 1st pregnancy and pretty close already on my 2nd and both sides of my fam has stretch marks good luck momma even if u get them they're so worth it :)

Don't scratch keep skin hydrated use bio oil  which is a great less expensive product with my first son I got some on my boobs and a little here and there but you can't tell i'm on my second and i've got a few little new ones lol i'm stressing about them but they are hardly anything to die about and in plus after you have the baby if you use the oil it will help with the appearance so don't  fret
