Most my family is covered in purple ones. I use mustela double action stretch mark cream and so far(knock on wood) have 1 skin colored one that's maybe an inch on my hip. I got it very early on. It's pricey, but so far worth it. I found it from reviews online saying the same thing about family members having them. You are supposed to use it i think for 2 months after birth since your skin is still changing and what not. That doesn't go to say i wont get any after birth or tomorrow, but i am 37 weeks now and i know based off just my sisters and how it went for them i'd be covered already. They used palmers.

You can try coconut butter lotion. For some people it helps but not for everyone

Yeah I'm 34+3 and have not one stretch mark ! And I only used bio-oil until I was about 20 weeks. And my mom got them really bad but my aunt (9 kids) and grandma never did and were all very tiny like 5 ft 95 lbs
