You can't prevent them.....all you can do is minimize the appearance of them.

I think if people are going to get them they will get them. However, rubbing cream/oil in makes a lot of people feel better, me included! I religously use cocoa butter every night. I have a few faded stretch marks on my legs from before and havent got any more. Having said that, yesterday morning, I discovered some red dots on my boobs, I didnt know what they were and accused my Dh of elbowing me in the night (poor man). But from what I have read on here, just means they are growing! They have already gone from a DD to a G. When will they stop??? I havent got a huge frame - no wonder I am getting back ache!

I've been applying Bio Oil since about 18 weeks. No stretch marks yet, but I am pretty sure my mum didn't have any either. I hope I dodge them! Probably the Bio Oil does nothing but it's smells so good & it's done wonders for dry skin and my lovely chapped nipples
