Some people are just genetically more prone to stretch marks. I am sorry that you are so frustrated but we can't control everything

I use vitamin e lotion and in the morning I use a lotion with elastigen in it. It prepares the skin to be stretched with less stress on your skin. Hope that helps, good luck:)

Also making sure you rub the lotions in until they are absorbed into your skin!

Embrace them because they dont go away. They will only get lighter after baby is born. I have heard that vitamin e oil works wonders With fading/lightning...Good luck!

Bio oil is the best thing you can use so far I have no new stretch marks and it has helped with the few that I have from my first pregnancy. You can barely see them now.

You can't get rid of stretch marks one they're there, but they will fade after baby is born. Mine faded to near skin color by the time my son was six months old.

Nothing you do can prevent stretch marks. Keep rubbing lotions and oils to lighten them up and try not to scratch to much.

I've heard that maintaining good hydration helps but if your genetically prone to getting them then its just an issue that your going to have to learn to love. I've been drinking and using bio oil (not religiously) I also find using a moisturising shower gel works for dry skin. But not eating tonnes more than you should will mean your body will grow at the correct rate. Stretch marks usually appear because you've grown too quickly, I was plagued with them when I had my growth spurt and was worried about pregnancy ones.
