Some say it is genetics others say you can prevent them. My best friend swears by pure cocoa butter.

I use bio-oil and coco butter but yes, at the end of the day it is genetics. My sister didnt get any stretchmarks until close to the end of the seventh month when they all appeared overnight. On the hips and tummy! She calls them her battle scars. On top of that she had a pre-planned c-section,so that adds another scar to her upper body.

I already have stretchmarks from a few years back. On my hips, my thighs and my butt. They're not very visible anymore though. Just thin silvery lines.
But I was naughty. I never used any moisturiser and my skin was horribly dry. I gained alot of weight in a short period of time. Then lost most of it just as quickly.
So I dont think they're genetic. I don't think my mom has any.

I use Bio-Oil and cocoa butter cream daily to attempt to keep them at bay now. I use it everywhere as well. I was warned by a friend not to forget the breasts so I make sure everywhere is done.

uggh! I just discovered stretchmarks on the back of my thighs! I didnt even know you can get them there as well. I am going to look like a roadmap after this pregnancy.
