I use palmers cocoa butter and I dont have any stretchmarks yet. Im 29 weeks.
Heres the thing, a lot of women say its genetic-if your mother has them you will too. I cant understand how that is true, since I come from a family of all girls, and all of my sisters have babies. my mother has awful stretchmarks, and so does my oldest sister, but my other sisters dont have any and I so far dont..I could still get them though.
The creams do help with skin elasticity, so use them, and it should help you more than not using any cream!

You can try any cream you want but if your body wants stretch marks your gonna get them. I know its not fair but it really does depend on your body. Some people get them and some don't! When I was pregnant with my 1st I remember having bad pains on my belly at night and the next day I would have a new stretch mark!

No cream will prevent stretch marks. It's a matter of heredity, skin elasticity and amount of weight gained. If your mother has stretch marks chances are you will too. It's a harsh reality I know. Sorry and good luck!

I use to work with a woman who had 8 kids. She used coco butter during each of her pregnancies.
She doesn't have a single stretch mark!
I'm using it if I ever get pregnant, that's for damn sure, lol.

Sadly, you cannot avoid them. If you're going to get them, you're going to get them. Cocoa butter can help decrease them, but they'll be there no matter what you do if you're someone who is predisposed to them. I cocoa buttered up like a maniac, still got some faint ones. Good luck to ya!

I've heard vitamin E cream is the best from everyone I've talked to.
