I put bio oil and 3 different kinds of palmers oils/lotions on every single day at least 3 times a day and never allowed my belly to get dry. I had ZERO stretch marks all the way until I was 32 weeks along, so i thought I was in the clear....BOY WAS I WRONG! It`s like they all appeared overnight once i hit 32wks! I also drank a TON of water...i think just like everyone says, if you`re meant to get them, you`ll get them...if not, YOU`RE LUCKY! :p

I`m just 36 weeks, and have been using Burts Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter, and so far no stretch marks! I haven`t gained a lot of weight with this pregnancy though (just 11 lbs), and I`m sure that makes a big difference. We`ll see if I get any in my last month here, but I figure it can`t hurt to use the lotion :)

I used Palmers Lotion and it was wonderful. Didn`t leave you feeling greasy or yucky. I have heard that stretch marks are a hereditary thing too. My sister got them but I didn`t. =o) Palmers is inexpensive too! Good Luck!

sorry girl, if your going to get `em your going to get `em. You can put cream or oil on your skin to help if itching becomes a problem but otherwise there`s not stopping them unless you have really great genes and are super lucky! My mom had 2 kids and not a single one, my sister had 2 kids and looked like she got clawed by a tiger, me I`m on my second child and have a few on my sides from my last pg and so far 2 small begginings of new stretchies...we`ll see what the rest of this pg brings, I`m 31 wks.

I used Burt`s Bees MamaBee Belly Butter and their belly oil as well, I didn`t get any stretch marks but like everyone has said you can`t really prevent them... congrats on the pregnancy and good luck with the battle on stretchmarks! ;)

Bio oil didn`t work for me, I havnt found anything that has made them fade. Nothing can provent them it depends on your body and how much weight u gain ** you can`t stop yourself from gaining weight `to fast` . I didn`t even show until after 24 weeks and got big all of a sudden at around 7, 7 & a half months so im covered in them.

bio oil is overpriced rubbish i used it religiously through my pregnancy and got loads of stretch marks, there is a fantastic range of products from mama mio and they really do work

Vitamin e cream! Do not use cocco butter! Find a vitamin e creme! If you have a membership to sams, I used their brand! I gained 75 pounds during my pregnancy! used it 3 times a day and had NO stretch marks!!!!!!!!

nothing can stop them! you can use lotions, creams, and oils...but once you get them...your screwed. i got my first SM at 30wks!!! and its was only a few, after i had my son at 34.4wks...they compiled & i had hundreds of SM! 13 months PP they are faded.

Stretch marks are mainly genetics... there are oils and creams to minimize them, but nothing will STOP them from coming.. also do not gain a huge amount of weight very fast. good luck

LoL...pray you have good genes! Oils & creams will make you more comfortable, but really if it`s gonna happen it will.

I heard wonderful things about jojoba oil so I gave it a try. I used it early on, and religiously about 3 times a day. I don`t know, maybe it is my genes but I didn`t get any stretch marks. Well, I did get one on my boob but that was before I started using the oil.
