Ya I thought the same, my mom had twins and didn't get a single stretch mark, Well lets just say my boobs look like I got attacked by a kitten and they just showed up on my thighs so I guess I got that from my dads side ugh, but tanning and palmers stretch mark cream helps them fade a lot!

Palmers cocoa butter lotion helps with my itching maybe it'll help you? I just know the itching and wanting to scratch is insanely annoying haha.

As your skin stretches it will itch but she is right you will get them if its runs in your fam but they do itch and if you scratch it will make it worse, lotions and oils don't prevent but they help soothe and helps it not itch so bad

If you're going to get stretch marks you'll get stretch marks whether you scratch or not. It just depends on your genetic makeup. Some women can use all the lotion in the world to try to keep from getting them and still do.
