As much as I tried not getting stretch marks & moisturizing all the time , I still got them!
Got them on the sides of my bump & my thighs . Now I noticed a couple coming out on my actual baby bump! Wahhhhhhhh!!!!! :(

Sorry ladies there is nothing at all that will stop stretch marks. It is thought to be known that by drinking lots of water and keeping quite active you may be able keep them at bay. I haven't gotten any new ones with this pregnancy but as my stomach was stretched so much with my last one I wasn't that bothered if I got new ones or not. It is a bit of a downer though when they are pretty fresh, really red and angry looking

With my 1st child I moistureized my belly the whole pregnancy and not one stretch mark showed up UNTIL a few months after her bbirth!  And I had been working out and keeping in shape to keep my figure. So now with thia pregnancy I dont even care. U can't prevent stretch marks lol

Stretch marks fade over time ladies! And they're there because you have a little miracle inside of you! I don't worry about stretch marks, I'm more worried about having a saggy belly after I give birth, I'd takeke the stretch marks over that any day lol

I know right? It looks like I ran into a flaming cobweb. Luckily I'm gonna have my baby within the next five weeks so hopefully I won't accumulate any more, and I can get my body back afterwards

I was super happy too when I never had any. I'm 31 weeks. Thankfully I have none on my belly yet. But I've gotten dark purple ones on my bum :/
