Don't think any of that stuff really works. If you're going to get them you'll get them.

I've heard that if you are going to get stretch marks you are going to get them no matter what. Apparently if your mom got a lot of stretch marks during her pregnancy you are more likely to get them, also if you are fair skinned you are more likely to get them. Probably not what you wanted to hear though. You can always try the Palmer's cocoa butter and see!

I never used any creams and didn't get any stretch marks with my other pregnancies. Hmm, could get them now as I am older and my skin is not as elastic as it was years ago
