stretch marks

Is it true that there is no cream that will prevent stretch marks? I already have stretchmarks from my first child but wantedto know if rubbing cream on my stomach faithfully will prevent me from getting more??

I didn't get any with my 1st except on my breast which look like scratches! I used the Palmer's lotion & if I felt the need to scratch, I did it while the lotion was fresh so I didn't leave any marks

I got none with my second pregnancy....probably no space left for any more! Fingers crossed for no new ones this time!

If it is in your genetic history you moat likely will hey stretch marks & the lotion & oils will help with the severity of it. The better mosturized your skin is the "less" damage it will become but to totally prevent it is very unlikely..

How is he trying to control it? It's your baby also, and your the one carrying the baby I believe you should have say. Unless hes trying to help you with how you eat or excersise or if your actually doing something that could hurt the baby you should have more say.

I always heard that it ain't gift to use lotion but if your going to get stress marks then your going to get them regardless. I know it *****, I'm 15 weeks with my first child and I'm starting to get a few and I use lotion every night and morning :/
