Stretch marks

does anyone else have stretch marks only on their legs? I only have them on the fronts of my thighs and I don't understand how I've got them. I don't have any on my stomach or anywhere else yet, I'm 37 weeks. I feel really down about them because I've used bio oil on my stomach and legs everyday twice a day since I found out I was pregnant and I've spent loads on it and they just look horrendous :/ does anyone else have this or know how to cover them properly?

I heard that drinking lots of water help. && I used palmers coco butter & palmers stretch mark cream I noticed soon I gt dehydrated they appeared. Idk every body different. But I heard after you have ur bby you can use merderma its hels them blend in with skin. But I agree no matter what you use they going to come when stretching

You can put anything on your skin, its doesnt really matter. It will bot prevent strechmarks from appearing. It depends what kind of skin you have. Creams might help to make them not has bad, but if you are to have some you will ! You cannot prevent it.

Sadly sometimes there is nothing you can do and the stretch marks just happen anyway. I've had issues with weight fluctuation for years so even before I got pregnant I've had stretch marks on my thighs but I just don't let them bother me, it's an area that doesn't really get shown unless I'm in the privacy of my home or swimming which are cases where you just adopt the thought process of Idc what others think

I'm 32 weeks and have them on my legs and not on my tummy. I had some on my thighs before I was pregnant, but they've gotten worse. I'm small also, so kinda confused about that! Haha.
