    Palmer's Stretch Mark Cream/Lotion. I lotioned up from shoulders to my knees every day after my shower. Never got the first stretch mark. Also, stay away from sugar and especially caffeine. It will dehydrate you hence drying your skin. Be sure to drink LOTS of water.

    Palmer's also makes an oil spray for stretch marks. I used that alot too. I put in my bath water until I couldn't take baths anymore!

    Congrats and good luck!!!

    Source(s): A lot of people say they are hereditary. My mom and sister both had them BAD. I never got the first one. I think it has a lot to do with your nutrition and water consumption. Again, Congrats!

    I don't believe it's in the genes, but in the care of the skin. Reason? I was afraid to get pregnant because my mom's tummy looked like a road map. When I asked her what happened she said "you, your sister and brother!" I was like whoa! So when I found out I was pregnant with both of my children I kept my skin as moist as possible from the very beginning. I used real cocoa butter in the stick form. You can still get it from some health stores. You break off a little piece and warm in your hands. (It's like a white chocolate bar) I also used it on my derriere and breasts, back of legs and arms. I am proud to say that at 47 I have no marks on my tummy! My sister did the same thing and ended up with only minute marks. Also, try to gain your weight very gradually, that helps as well. Good luck!

    Mederma

    Cocoa Butter

    Vitamin E oil

    Ambroderm

    Lubriderm

    All of these help, but there is no proof that they prevent stretch marks. Creams and oils mainly just help with the itching that you get when you a pregnant.

    First of all, they are normal, if you have a significant growth spurt, or wait gain/loss they can spring up (overnight) Many people have them, i had bad ones on my back growing up. I grew 6 inchs in about 3 months. that hurt You can get topical creams from various places, just google seach "stretch mark creams" you can also do surgery or laser surgery, but that is not very practical another way is massage babyoil, or other oils into it, and massage it throughly and deeply. takes some time but it work,s also you can tan, which makes your skin tighter, although it will make the marks more notciable until they fade. besides that, maintain your weight so it doesnt happen anymore. hope this helped

    The only thing that can prevent stretch marks is one's genes!! Sorry. Absolutely nothing on the market will eliminated them OR make them appear less visible. Putting cream on your belly, however, will help in the itching that you will soon be experiencing!..
