I have lost 12lbs since I got pregnant. I am 17 weeks and I am getting stretchmarks already. I am a firm believer in genetics. Cocoa butter and oil did/and is doing NOTHING for me :(

i gained 22lbs at 38 weeks and gave birth then.

I`m in week 33 and I`ve only gained 15... after losing 35 in my first trimester. I was overweight to begin with, and had stretch marks from being overweight, but I haven`t gotten any new ones!

I don`t think pregnancy weight gain has a direct correlation to stretch marks. Period.

I gained 40 with my first and had no stretch marks. I gained 14 with my daughter and got stretch marks on my lower stomach during the last few weeks.

I`m coming up on fourty pounds with very minor stretching. I think it all depends on your kin type.

oh, by the way.... 27 pounds is what is recommended for me since i started out a little overweight so yeah, I am trying to stay under a certain weight gain....

...oh-and no stretchmarks...

I gained way more than 25 and didn`t get stretch marks. I think it`s more about genetics.

I gained 27 lbs. and got stretch marks around the 30th week - maybe sooner. They weren`t too bad. I used cocoa butter lotion every day after my shower too. They turned white after birth, and aren`t really noticeable now though. Good luck! I think it depends on good genes and the elasticity of your skin.

i wouldnt assume nor TRY to stay under 25lbs...i didnt gain any weight til i was about 25weeks or so and now at almost 36weeks i`ve gained right at 30lbs.
