You're very much right, mommies! I'll try them. I am only 12 weeks now, but I want to use something starting with today...so that mu skin will become quite elastic. My mom hasn't got any strech marks either...so I supose I should have good genes. Thanks for your tips! Good luck to you all! :*

I was pregnant at 19 with my first and only got like 6 little stretch marks and I got them when i went over my due date. Now im 21 with my 2nd I got stretch marks at about 31 weeks, im 34+ now and ive got them all over my love handles with 4 strecth marks on each side on my belly. I used bio oil my first pregnancy like 10 times throughout my whole pregnancy, this time I used nothing. I really honestly believe there is nothing you can do to prevent the stratch marks but I would recommend bio oil just cause its nice and I like it. Lol goodluck and hopefully im proved wrong and stretch marks can b prevented no matter ur skin, cause some of mine are soooo dark and long they look kinda ugly, but I love them cause they are from my bubbas :)

I'm nearly 35 weeks and I use palmers cocoa butter, not as often as I should... But no stretch marks yet! However, I've heard its lot to do with genetics. And no ladies in my family got stretch marks, guess I have good genes

I mixed baby oil in my coco butter applied it 2-3 times a day , healthy weight gain (I gained 35 lbs) and stay well hydrated I didnt get a single stretch mark on me had my little girl 3 weeks ago today but I have heard many drs etc say that some woman will get stretch marks no matter what they do its really just about ur skins elasticity.

Thanks for the tips. I already go to the gym 5 day a week so exercise is not a problem for, but neither a solution to strech marks. I'll use some bio olive oil.
