i really dont want stretch marks

is there any other way to avoid them?
im only four months and not showing much at alllll, and ive always been really small, so maybe i wont get them?
hmmm i dont know.
i heard but cocoa butter on your tummay every day, and so i do that with this lotion i have.
hope it works.

It's genetics...you will get them or you won't. Nothing you can do to stop it. Wish there was something though...lol

i've heard it is hereditary.... so more about genetics than creams/lotions.

i think if your gonna get them then your gonna get them. when i first found out i was pregnant i bought palmers stretch mark cream but i always forget to put it on... im 20 weeks and havent got any yet. touch wood

Nothing you can do. If you are going to get them, you are gonig to get them. You can try the creams (I use cocoa butter), and those are supposed to help, but if you are destined for them, you will get them. Sorry.  

if you didnt want stretch marks you shouldnt have gotten pregnant. You're either going to get them or you won't. It's just how it goes. Nothing you can do is going to prevent them.

umm..if you didnt want them you should've thought twice about getting preggo. there's nothing you can do about them, your carrying a human being is your skin not suppose to stretch. its either you'll get them or you wont

if you get them you get them and if you dont you dont.

i didnt get many but i gottem, i thought they would really bother me, but they dontand im only 10 weeks pp, and there very fadded already dont stress about them there beautiful blessing of having a baby

If there was a way to avoid them, nobody would have any.

Youre going to get them if youre genetically predisposed to them. Ask your mom if she got any with pregnancy. That will be your best indicator. My mom never did and so far, neither have I at 30 weeks.

Stretchmarks will be the last thing on your mind once you start getting sore feet, a sore back, constipation etc etc. Plus, they eventually fade and it's not like they're hard to hide.

I didn't say you shouldn't of gotten pregnant. I was just saying what I thought. I've got tonnes of scars from old stretch marks and you can't even see them now. I've never put anything on my skin to prevent them, I just figure that they'll fade. There's no way you can prevent them, but there are things you can do to minimise how many you get. Just keep moisturizing and you should be okay.
