Baby oil helps. 32w n no stratch marks. I have them on my booty somehow though (tmi sorry)... I didnt put any cream or oil there though :/ so that may be why I have them there.......

Oh okay, well I havnt gotten any so far. And that's what I heard that it's genetics and idk my grandma or mom didn't get none . And My grandma had 7 kids lol. So I'm hoping. But I've gained 30 lbs and I'm only 23 weeks, but it went to like my butt and thighs cause my stomachs all baby lol

You can't prevent them...its partially genetic as to the elasticity of your skin..my doctor told me with my first if your predisposed to them there's nothing you can do but you can try skin butters to help keep your skin mosturized but that's about it
